Asian-Style Toasted Sesame Salad Dressing

Always refrigerate after opening to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Stir well before each use.

Shake well before using, as oil and other ingredients can separate.

Taste and adjust seasonings; add more vinegar for tanginess or a pinch of sugar for sweetness.

Use as a marinade for chicken, tofu, or vegetables before grilling or roasting.

Leafy green salads (romaine, spinach, mixed greens)

Grain bowls (quinoa, rice, farro)

Roasted or steamed vegetables (broccoli, asparagus, bell peppers)

Noodle dishes

Spring rolls or dumplings (as a dipping sauce)

Not refrigerating after opening, leading to spoilage.

Failing to shake well, resulting in an unbalanced flavor profile.

Using untoasted sesame oil, which lacks the deep, roasted flavor.
