Ingredients
- ¼ tsp dried basil ((If you use fresh, triple the amount.))
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil ((8 Tbsp, 120 ml))
- 1 clove garlic ((crushed/minced))
- ¼ tsp dried parsley ((If you use fresh, triple the amount.))
- ¼ cup rice vinegar ((4 Tbsp, 60 ml))
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil (roasted) ((30 ml))
- 1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce ((30 ml))
- ½ tsp sugar
- ½ cup neutral-flavored oil (vegetable, canola, etc) ((8 Tbsp, 120 ml))
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar ((4 Tbsp, 60 ml))
Instructions
1. You can whisk all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, but I highly recommend getting 8-oz mason jars or 16-oz mason jars. You can put all your ingredients in a jar with a lid and shake vigorously until everything has emulsified. If you have leftover dressing, you can store it directly in the refrigerator! 2. Combine all the ingredients in a mason jar: ½ cup extra virgin olive oil, ¼ cup white wine vinegar, ½ tsp sugar, 1 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt, ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper, 1 clove garlic (crushed or minced), ¼ tsp dried basil, and ¼ tsp dried parsley. Shake really well until everything has emulsified. 3. Combine all the ingredients in a mason jar: ½ cup neutral oil, ¼ cup white wine vinegar, 1 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt, ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper, and ½ tsp sugar. Shake really well until everything has emulsified. 4. Combine all the ingredients in a mason jar: ½ cup neutral oil, ¼ cup rice vinegar (unseasoned), 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt, ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper, and ½ tsp sugar. Shake really well until everything has emulsified. 5. Combine all the ingredients in a mason jar: 6 Tbsp neutral oil, 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil, 4 Tbsp rice vinegar (unseasoned), 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt, ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper, ½ tsp sugar, and1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds. Shake really well until everything has emulsified. 6. Serve on your favorite salad and enjoy! Cover the leftovers and refrigerate for 7 to 10 days. When your dressing solidifies in the refrigerator, simply let it rest at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes or microwave very briefly (about 15–20 seconds) to liquify the oil again. Whisk or shake well and serve!
