ingredients for the sesame lime dressing

  • Lime juice, with its sweet and tangy citrus flavor and natural vitamin C, fresh lime juice is the perfect ingredient to add brightness to this salad dressing.
  • Tamari or soy sauce. Use whatever you have in your pantry or what you like. I have both at home. Tamari is a bit stronger in flavor than soy sauce.
  • Rice vinegar. Buy unseasoned rice vinegar to have better control over your seasoning.
  • Use vegetable oil. I do not recommend swapping the vegetable oil for olive oil; it will slightly change the flavor.
  • Sesame seeds: toasted or raw
  • Scallions, thinly sliced

How to make the lime sesame dressing?

It is as easy as putting all your ingredients in a jar, tightly closing it, and then shaking it until all is well integrated. And you are done; now you have the perfect Asian-inspired sesame dressing with soy and lime.

VAriations

Add grated garlic and/or ginger to make this dressing even more flavorful, or switch it up a bit. If you don’t have sesame seeds, add a teaspoon (or more to taste) of tahini.

You could also make this dressing spicy by adding a tablespoon of Sriracha, wasabi or even a finely diced jalapeño. Some fresh herbs, like cilantro or mint, would be fantastic here.
