Description

This Creamy Sesame Dressing is a flavorful and healthy alternative to traditional dressings, combining homemade mayonnaise with toasted sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, coconut aminos, and a blend of spices. Perfect for salads, bowls, or as a dipping sauce, this dressing is paleo, whole30, and keto-friendly, with a rich, nutty flavor and a smooth, emulsified texture.


Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • ½ cup Homemade Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 2 tsp White Rice Vinegar
  • 1.5 tbsp Coconut Aminos
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, add ½ cup of homemade mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds, 1.5 tablespoons of coconut aminos, 2 teaspoons of white rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of onion powder, and a small pinch of cayenne pepper.
  2. Whisk Together: Whisk all the ingredients vigorously until the mixture is fully combined and emulsified, ensuring a smooth and creamy texture. For easier blending, you can use an immersion blender if preferred.
  3. Store the Dressing: Transfer the creamy sesame dressing into a mason jar or any airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. The dressing will thicken as it chills.

Notes

  • Once refrigerated, the dressing will thicken. To thin it out, whisk in a tablespoon of water until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Homemade dressing will last up to one week when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Mason jars work great for storing homemade dressings securely and conveniently.
  • This dressing differs from Kewpie deep roasted sesame dressing, which uses canola oil, soy sauce, and sugar and contains wheat and soy. This homemade version is a healthier option that is paleo, whole30, and keto-friendly.
