This Asian Sesame Dressing is a healthy salad dressing made from scratch, with just a few simple ingredients, like fresh ginger and garlic, toasted sesame oil and soy sauce.
I use it with my Asian Slaw and serve it over Korean Beef Tacos or Thai Peanut Noodles, for a delicious takeout dinner made at home.
If you are looking for a way to jazz up a simple slaw, this Asian Sesame Dressing is the perfect way to add a burst of flavor to simple veggies. It's made with simple ingredients, that if you like to make takeout dishes at home, you most likely already have in your pantry. Simply combine them all in a jar and shake!
Ingredients:
- low-sodium soy sauce
- sesame oil
- rice vinegar
- olive oil
- garlic
- ginger
- brown sugar or honey
- sesame seeds, optional
Instructions:
- Grate ginger and garlic. Mince both.
- Combine all ingredients in a measuring cup or small bowl.
- Whisk well.
Storing:
As with all dressings, it is best to store it in a fridge in a container with a lid. Shake it well before using. You can keep it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Made this tonight with an Asian salad... I didn’t like the dressing that came with it... Delicious! And my boyfriend loved it! Added a little more ginger (used powder, all I had) garlic and honey- just a tad. Thank you for an awesome recipe I will keep in my recipe book!
