Black Sesame Salad Dressing

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds (, cooked)
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large clove garlic
• 4 cups mixed green salad to serve with (*see footnote)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a nonstick skillet over medium low heat and add black sesame seeds. Cook and stir occasionally until fragrant, in 5 to 8 minutes.

2. 2

   Transfer sesame seeds to a mortar and grind with a pestle until turned into coarse flakes.

3. 3

   Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and half the sesame seed flakes in a medium-sized bowl and mix well. Smash garlic into a paste and add it into the bowl. Taste the dressing and add more sesame seeds if you prefer it a bit nuttier. Mix well and let it stand for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Wash and prepare vegetables.

5. 5

   Drizzle dressing on salad before serving.
