![]() ![]() So you can imagine how pleased I was when I tasted my own sesame dressing and realized it tasted just like Pietro’s sesame dressing! They make the best Asian dressings! What I love about Pietro is that each dressing tastes authentic and isn’t too sweet. I usually don’t like store bought dressings except for one Japanese brand I absolutely adore – Pietro. If you love Japanese dressings, you are going to fall head over heels for this one! It’s so good I always keep a bottle in my fridge! Fortunately, sesame oil is very strong and a little goes a long way! Definitely don’t skip the Sesame Oil in this Asian Dressing recipe – it adds great depth of flavor.This Japanese sesame dressing has it all – it’s creamy, nutty, sweet, and full of umami. ![]() The book does recommend that you use it sparingly in recipes like sauces and dressings. It is listed as an approved oil in Whole30: The 30 Day Guide to Total Health and Food Freedom. Is Sesame Oil Whole30 Compliant & Can You Substitute Olive Oil for Sesame Oil? As with all ingredients, it’s best to check the label because there are a few versions out there that contain sugar, but the majority of brands are compliant. Yes, it is! The name may be misleading, but it is allowed on the plan. The dressing is ready when it’s smooth and there are no remaining chunks of dates. Next, add all your ingredients to a small food processor or blender. This step can be skipped if your dates are naturally large and soft (Medjool dates usually are.) But if they aren’t squishable between your fingers, soak the dates in some very hot water for a few minutes. How to Make Asian Sesame Dressingįirst, soak your dates. Make a batch (or two) for the Asian Chicken Chopped Salad and keep some on hand for stir fry, salads, or even as a dipping sauce. This dressing is sweetened naturally with dates and includes coconut aminos as a replacement for soy sauce to keep it Whole30 compliant. Once you start, I promise you won’t want to go back! The taste is like night and day. If you’re trying to limit sugar in your diet, good luck finding a bottled dressing in the grocery store that doesn’t list sugar in its top 5 ingredients (among many other unnatural and unpronounceable things.)įortunately, making homemade dressing (check out this Ranch dressing) is a breeze! For this recipe, I dump it all in my Magic Bullet (or other small food processor) and give it a whir. Even the ones labeled “natural” and “made with olive oil” have tons of yucky additives, sugar, and msg. It’s soy, dairy, and refined sugar free and the flavor is outstanding.Īs I transitioned my family to a clean, whole food diet over the past year, I had to completely give up on store bought salad dressings. It truly is a double-batch-worthy kind of recipe. I originally created this dressing for my Asian Chicken Chopped Salad because I wanted to enjoy classic Asian flavors on a round of Whole30 (no dairy, soy, sugar, grains, etc.) That salad quickly became and remains one of my most popular recipes, and I think it’s mainly because of this dressing, earning it its very own post right here!Īlmost daily, I get comments from readers about their mad love for this Asian Sesame Dressing.
