Easy Sesame Dressing

This salad dressing recipe is a very basic vinaigrette. The base oil is a combo of olive oil with a touch of sesame oil. We took things up a notch by sauteeing the garlic first so that it’s super flavorful.

I promise it’s worth the extra step. After you’ve sauteed the garlic, it’s time to mix the rest of the ingredients in. We like to do this right in a mason jar so you can screw the cap on and give it a shake. Here’s what you need:

  • Olive Oil
  • Sesame Oil
  • Garlic
  • Salt
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Soy Sauce
  • Maple Syrup
  • Red Pepper Flakes
  • Dijon Mustard

How to Use Sesame Dressing

Like I mentioned above, you’re pretty much going to die over this simple healthy salad dressing recipe. Guess what? You can use this for more than just salad!

  • Salads: keep things super simple and top your baby kale or spinach with this dressing.
  • Marinade: Place a few chicken breasts in a glass container and pour on some Asian Salad Dressing. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes and boom, you’ve got Asian Chicken ready to go.
  • Dip: Use this dressing as a dip for spring rolls or egg rolls.
  • Pasta Salad: get festive with your pasta salad and make an Asian-inspired dish!

My husband and I loved this dressing. I added some very fine chopped peanuts to it ,what a hit this was. I have the recipe now and will definitely be making it again. Rather than put it in a jar and shake it up I put it all together in the blender and it was perfect! I also added cayenne pepper rather than red pepper flakes. Sorry, no photo, we ate it up too fast.
