Creamy and Fragrant Perilla Seed Dressing
Homemade Nutritious Perilla Seed Dressing Sauce ♡
Introducing a rich and nutty perilla seed dressing that will make your fresh vegetable salads even more special. Make it yourself for a fresher and healthier experience! Adding pine nuts enhances the flavor depth.
Main Ingredients- 4 Tbsp perilla seed powder
- 2 Tbsp oligodang (corn syrup)
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp sugar (optional)
- A little pine nuts (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, add 4 tablespoons of perilla seed powder, which adds a rich nutty flavor. Using well-roasted perilla seeds will result in a deeper taste.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of oligodang for sweetness and gloss. You can also use honey instead of oligodang.
Step 3
Pour in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to add a refreshing zing. Lemon juice cuts through the richness and balances the flavors of the dressing.
Step 4
Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise for a smooth and creamy texture. If you dislike mayonnaise, you can substitute it with yogurt or plain cream cheese.
Step 5
Carefully add 1/3 teaspoon of salt to season. You can adjust the amount to your taste after tasting.
Step 6
If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add 2 tablespoons of sugar. However, if you want to reduce the sweetness, it’s perfectly fine to skip this step. Adjusting to your taste is best.
Step 7
Using a spatula or whisk, vigorously mix all the ingredients until they are smoothly combined. Continue stirring until you achieve a uniform, glossy dressing with no lumps.
Step 8
Generously pour the finished perilla seed dressing over fresh vegetables. For an extra nutty flavor and delightful texture, sprinkle finely crushed pine nuts on top. This dressing is not only great for salads but also pairs wonderfully with seasoned vegetable dishes!
