Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 221kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup avocado oil can use olive oil or garlic infused olive oil
- 2 tablespoons tamari or use soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar apple cider, champagne or white wine vinegars can also be used
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice fresh
- 2 tablespoons powdered stevia or sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon tahini optional, but recommended for a creamier dressing
- 1 tablespoon ginger root fresh grated or powdered ginger
- 1 teaspoon chili paste I like Sambal Oelek or sriracha
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined (see notes for additional methods).
Notes
Optional mixing instructions
- Combine ingredients in a mason jar or salad dressing shaker and shake well
- Blend all of the ingredients in a blender (I like to use my Nutribullet here) until smooth and emulsified. Or, use an immersion blender.
Grating ginger
I find that using a zester to grate the ginger root creates super finely grated ginger that distributes really well throughout the dressing.Variations
- Make it thicker – add extra tahini for a thicker sauce or use as a dip
- Peanut sauce – instead of adding tahini, use peanut butter. And, add chili sauce or chili peppers for a spicy peanut sauce.
- Marinade – use as a marinade for chicken, fish or pork
- Stir fry sauce – this makes a wonderful stir fry sauce! Add it to your stir fry during the last minute of cooking.
- Orange sesame dressing – add some orange peel for an orange sesame dressing. Use either fresh or powdered orange peel. I absolutely ADORE this variation. ¼ teaspoon will do the trick.
- Add garlic – if you aren’t following a low-FODMAP diet, add one finely diced garlic clove or ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
- Whole30 salad dressing – replace the sweetener with chopped dates and blend
How to store
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. I like to store all of my dressings in mason jars.Nutrition
