Sesame Dressing

Sesame Dressing is a creamy, sesame-flavoured dressing commonly used in East Asian and Middle Eastern-inspired salads, bowls and marinades; it often contains tahini (sesame paste), oil, soy or vinegar and a touch of sweetener. It is energy-dense and high in fat, providing about 45.2g of fat per 100g, and delivers plant-based fats along with notable minerals such as iron, copper and manganese from sesame seeds. While it contributes useful micronutrients, it is calorie-rich and best used in moderation or swapped for lighter dressings when you want to reduce calories or overall fat intake.
