Black Sesame Salad Dressing

Method6 steps

1. 1

   Step 1: Put the 2 tbsp already cooked black sesame seeds in a dry non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally for about 5 to 8 minutes, until fragrant, watching carefully so they do not burn.

   Step 3: Mix the 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar and 1/4 tsp salt in a bowl. Stir in half of the prepared sesame flakes. Peel the large garlic clove (1 large), crush it into a paste and mix it in. Taste and add only as much of the remaining sesame flakes as you prefer; if the chosen mayonnaise makes the dressing too sour, add a little extra sugar to balance it.
