Questions about Sesame seed salad dressing
What goes well with sesame seed salad dressing?
Its nutty, savoury flavour works especially well with crunchy cabbage, carrot and cucumber, and with noodles, tofu or grilled chicken. Try it in a slaw or drizzle it over a rice bowl with spring onions.
How can you stop sesame seed salad dressing separating?
Shake the bottle firmly, or whisk the dressing in a bowl before serving. If it has thickened in the fridge, let it stand briefly at room temperature, then shake or whisk again.
How should you store sesame seed salad dressing after opening?
Keep it tightly sealed in the fridge and use it by the date on the packaging. Homemade dressing should also be refrigerated; discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Can you use sesame seed salad dressing as a marinade?
Yes: coat tofu, chicken or vegetables lightly before cooking, but keep some fresh dressing aside for serving. Because dressings can contain sugar, wipe off excess before grilling so it does not scorch.
What can you use instead of sesame seed salad dressing?
For a similar nutty flavour, whisk tahini with lemon juice, water and a little soy sauce; thin it until pourable. A ginger-soy dressing is another good match for salads and noodle bowls, though it tastes less creamy.
Is sesame seed salad dressing the same as sesame-based dressing?
Not necessarily: sesame-based dressing may be made mainly from ground sesame or tahini, while sesame seed salad dressing can be an oil-and-vinegar dressing flavoured with sesame. Their texture and sweetness can differ.
Does sesame seed salad dressing contain sesame allergens?
It may contain sesame seeds or sesame paste, so avoid it if you have a sesame allergy. Recipes vary, and some dressings also contain ingredients such as soya, mustard or egg.
How much sesame seed salad dressing is a usual serving?
A tablespoon (15 g) is a practical amount for dressing one salad portion; add more only if needed, as the flavour is concentrated. That serving provides 66 kcal.
