Looking for a versatile and flavorful dressing that can elevate your salads, grain bowls, and grilled meats? Look no further than this sesame tamari vinaigrette! This easy-to-make dressing combines the rich, savory flavors of tamari, sesame oil, and rice vinegar with a touch of sweetness from honey and a hint of garlic and ginger.
The article features two variations of the dressing: a classic version and a spicy version. The classic version is a well-balanced dressing that complements a wide range of dishes, while the spicy version adds a kick of heat that is perfect for those who like a little extra zing. Both dressings are gluten-free and can be easily made vegan by omitting the honey.
In addition to the two vinaigrette recipes, the article also includes a recipe for a simple sesame-crusted tofu that pairs perfectly with the dressing. The tofu is coated in a mixture of sesame seeds, tamari, and cornstarch, then pan-fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Whether you're looking for a new salad dressing, a marinade for grilled meats, or a dipping sauce for appetizers, this sesame tamari vinaigrette is sure to become a new favorite. With its bold flavors and versatility, it's a dressing that you'll reach for again and again.
MISO-SESAME VINAIGRETTE THAT'S GOOD ON ANYTHING
This all-purpose miso-sesame vinaigrette is great on a simple salad with lettuces and fresh vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, sliced onions, radishes, jicama or grated carrots, or in this Chicken and Cabbage Salad. Try it drizzled on an iceberg wedge, over sliced leftover steak, chicken or tofu, or on grilled seafood, served hot or cold. It's especially good with grilled salmon and spicy greens like watercress, mizuna or arugula.

Steps:
- Combine garlic, shallot, shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar in a blender and blend on high speed until homogenous. (Alternatively, mash garlic and shallots in the bowl of a large granite or marble mortar and pestle into a fine paste using the pestle, then stir in the shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar.)
- With the blender running on medium speed (the liquid should form a vortex but not jump up and splatter on the walls of the blender), slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. (If using a mortar and pestle, slowly drizzle in the oil as you stir vigorously with the pestle.)
- Transfer to a lidded jar. Stir in the sesame oil and sesame seeds with a spoon. Dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Shake well before using.
TAMARIND VINAIGRETTE

SESAME GINGER VINAIGRETTE
My decision to devote this week's recipes to salad dressings was partly a reaction to my son's request for a bottled sesame ginger dressing. "We don't buy dressings in this house," I said huffily. The next day I looked at a bottle of sesame soy ginger dressing at a local market and was horrified to see that the second listed ingredient was sugar. I thought: I can make something sort of sweet and do better than that. And so I did. This dressing is great with green salads and cooked vegetables, as well as with noodles and grains.

Steps:
- In a small bowl whisk together ingredients.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for sesame oil and tamari that are made with organic, non-GMO soybeans.
- If you don't have any sesame oil, you can substitute another type of oil, such as olive oil or grapeseed oil.
- If you don't have any tamari, you can substitute soy sauce. However, tamari has a richer flavor and will give the vinaigrette a more authentic taste.
- Feel free to adjust the proportions of the ingredients to suit your own taste. If you like a sweeter vinaigrette, add more maple syrup or honey. If you like a more tangy vinaigrette, add more rice vinegar or lemon juice.
- Store the vinaigrette in a tightly sealed jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Sesame tamari vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on salads, vegetables, tofu, and even fish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its delicious umami flavor, this vinaigrette is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
