Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Tahini (sesame paste)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos (soy sauce alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (unseasoned, Paleo-friendly)
- 1 teaspoon Raw honey
- 1 clove Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, to thin)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the toasted sesame oil, olive oil, and tahini. Whisk well until smooth.
Add the coconut aminos, fresh lemon juice, and rice vinegar to the mixture. Continue whisking until fully incorporated.
Stir in the raw honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
If the dressing is too thick for your preference, gradually whisk in the water, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before using.
