Sesame ginger dressing is easy to make and has tons of flavor. It's a creamy salad dressing that is made with Asian flavors like tahini, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. You'll love it poured over your greens or coleslaw!
Serve this dressing over some crunchy greens with some garlic ginger chicken or soy sauce chicken on the side. And if you love this recipe, also check out our sesame orange vinaigrette.
You'll always find at least one homemade salad dressing in a jar in our fridge, and lately, it's been this one.
The sesame and ginger give it an unmistakably Asian taste and the tahini makes it deliciously creamy.
A little rice vinegar, soy sauce (or coco aminos), some garlic, and a little honey or maple syrup to sweeten the deal are all you'll need to make this recipe.
