Blend or process until the ingredients are well emulsified and the mixture is smooth.
Step 6
Add the cooled, toasted sesame seeds to the dressing.
Step 7
Pulse a few times to finely break up the seeds, giving the dressing a pleasantly nutty texture.
Step 8
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or dressing bottle.
Step 9
Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Step 10
Shake well before each use and drizzle over your favorite salads or use as a marinade for vegetables or proteins.
