"Sometimes, I enjoy a simple salad of just greens. Maybe a few cucumber slices, onion, or fresh herbs; but, just something lite. This dressing is perfect for this. This is also delicious drizzled over grilled salmon or tuna too. It will keep for at least a week or two in the refrigerator."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Sesame Seeds ... The one step I don't skip, is to toast the sesame seeds - it really makes a difference. Just a couple of minutes in a dry saute pan on medium to medium high heat. Then, grind them up. You can use a small food processor, coffee grinder; or, put in a ziploc bag, and using a rolling pin - meat mallet, or heavy pot, crush the seeds.
Step 2
Vinaigrette ... Mix everything together in a small bowl, measuring cup; or, a ziploc container. Just add everything and shake!
Step 3
Serve and ENJOY! ... Shredded Napa and red cabbage, with thin sliced onions and cucumber is delicious with this vinaigrette. Although, this is definitely versatile.
