Anita quickly declared this sesame salad dressing as one of her all-time favorites. She loved the hint of sesame oil and soy sauce, with just a touch of sweetness. A light vinegar bite and creamy mayonnaise hit all the right notes for her. It’s not a thick sauce, not at all. It’s just slightly thicker than say, Italian dressing.
Although you can try and rush this sesame salad dressing, don’t. Let it rest at least 30 minutes before serving. And if you can, let it sit overnight. And as I note in the recipe, you might want to adjust the sesame oil. Although Anita and I both are fans of sesame oil, we find that a little goes a long ways. We felt that one tablespoon was perfect for us. So, we recommend that you start with a little, taste, and add more if desired. You can always add more after it has set a while, too. You just can’t take it back out!
