Ingredients- 6 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp toasted black sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 4 Tbsp corn syrup (or honey)
- 2 Tbsp water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather and measure all the ingredients for your sesame dressing. Using toasted sesame and black sesame seeds will enhance the nutty flavor profile. You’ll need soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, mayonnaise, sugar, corn syrup, and water.
Step 2
Prepare a blender or food processor. Add all the measured ingredients – the toasted sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, mayonnaise, sugar, corn syrup, and water – directly into the blender. By adding everything at once to the blender from the start, you can skip mixing in a bowl and significantly reduce your cleanup time. Isn’t that convenient?
Step 3
Secure the lid on your blender. Blend the ingredients until they are smooth and well combined, achieving a creamy consistency. Ensure there are no large chunks of sesame seeds remaining. Once blended, transfer the creamy sesame dressing to a clean jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. This homemade dressing will stay fresh and delicious for about 2 weeks when refrigerated.
Step 4
Now it’s time to enjoy your homemade sesame dressing! It pairs wonderfully with a tofu salad topped with fresh baby greens. You can also drizzle it over various other salads, seasoned vegetable dishes (namul), or even chicken breast for an added layer of nutty flavor.
