How to Make Black Sesame Vinaigrette

  1. Toast black sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Let cool slightly.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the toasted black sesame seeds, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic (or garlic powder), and black pepper.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of water and whisk until well combined. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more honey/maple syrup for sweetness, soy sauce/vinegar for tang, or sesame oil for richness.
  5. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
