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.
