Asian Sesame Ginger Dressing
This flavorful Asian-style dressing is great on salads, noodles, and slaws. It's a delicious blend of sweet, savory, nutty, and tangy!
Servings: 6 (2-Tbsp. servings)
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar, unseasoned
- 2 Tbsp. tahini
- 1 Tbsp. tamari (or soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp. white miso
- 1 tsp. fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds (or more)
- Optional: 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil, red pepper flakes
Instructions
Choose one method of preparation:
- Whisk: In a small mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Whisk until miso clumps are smoothed out and dissolved.
- Shake: Add all ingredients to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake until combined.
- Blend: In a small high-speed blender, add all ingredients except sesame seeds. (I use a small Nutri-Bullet which works great.) Blend for 20-30 seconds or until smooth. Then stir in sesame seeds after blending.
Notes
Storing: Store the dressing in a sealed glass jar or other container in the refrigerator. Give it a stir again before serving. I find it keeps for about 5 days, but use your best judgement.
For gluten-free: Use GF tamari.
For refined oil-free: Don't include the optional sesame oil. (The estimated nutritional content is calculated without toasted sesame oil.)
Yield: Recipe makes about 3/4 cup dressing.
