Healthy Sesame Ginger Dressing Recipe

How to Make the Best Healthy Sesame Ginger Dressing Recipe

This healthy sesame ginger dressing is the perfect complement to fresh salads, slaws, and Asian-inspired bowls. With its perfect balance of tangy vinegar, sweet maple syrup, and aromatic ginger and garlic, this versatile dressing delivers restaurant-quality flavor in minutes. The combination of olive and sesame oils creates a rich, nutty base that coats every leaf and vegetable beautifully.

What makes this dressing truly special is its simplicity and dietary flexibility. It’s naturally vegan, gluten-free (when using gluten-free tamari), and packed with wholesome ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. The toasted sesame seeds add a delightful crunch and extra depth of flavor, while the ginger and garlic provide anti-inflammatory benefits that make this dressing as healthy as it is delicious.

This dressing keeps well in the refrigerator for up to five days, making it perfect for meal prep. Simply shake or whisk before serving, and you’ll have a homemade dressing that far surpasses any store-bought version. Whether you’re drizzling it over crunchy coleslaw, tossing it with warm grains, or using it as a marinade for vegetables, this sesame ginger dressing will elevate your meals with authentic Asian flavors.
