Sesame Ginger Dressing

This sesame ginger dressing is super easy, and is a really delicious gluten-free vegan blend that goes well on a variety salad mixes.

No homemade salad dressing repertoire is complete without a quick, easy sesame ginger dressing to put over Asian salads or to jazz up simple green salads.

This sesame ginger dressing is really easy to make by shaking all of the ingredients in a jar.

How To Make Homemade Asian Sesame Ginger Dressing

A typical Asian sesame ginger dressing includes:

• mild-flavored vegetable oil (I’m using safflower oil)
• seasoned rice vinegar
• soy sauce (I’m using wheat-free tamari to make this gluten-free)
• minced garlic
• minced ginger,
• sesame seeds
• sweetener (I’m using pure maple syrup)

A lot of recipes also contain scallions.

Use high quality oils for the best results. Olive oil and sunflower oil are too assertive. I prefer safflower oil, which allows the toasted sesame oil to shine.

This sesame ginger dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Salads that go well with Sesame Ginger Dressing

I can’t go past a fresh Asian-inspired salad. It makes me nostalgic for my days living in Singapore when my family and I would eat outside on the balcony after playing tennis.

This sesame ginger dressing recipe pairs well with:

• any mixed greens
• seaweed and cucumber
• shredded cabbage
• julienned carrots, cucumber, green onions, and bean shoots
• julienned celeriac and leeks
