Step 1

Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant (2-3 mins). Stir frequently to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.

Step 2

In a blender or pint-size jar, blend all other ingredients until incorporated. Add toasted sesame seeds and mix by hand (do not blend).

Step 3

Taste and adjust sweetness or saltiness if needed by adding more honey or soy sauce.

Step 4

Transfer dressing to a glass jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.

Step 5

Shake well before serving. Drizzle over salads, grilled veggies, or Asian dishes.
