A good Asian dressing- I used it on a slaw of radicchio, carrot, bell pepper, and cucumber. Delicious. I didn't use as much neutral oil as the recipe calls for (maybe 2-3tbs?) but I like an acidic dressing.

I eliminate the neutral oil and increase the sesame oil to 2 teaspoons or to taste. And, black rice vinegar adds a more pungent flavor as compared to the lighter rice vinegar. Add a squirt of hot sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds after tossing. As a daikon radish aficionado I often grate some daikon root on a hand grater, squeeze out as much liquid as i can, and add that to the greens.

Excellent; like many Bittman recipes v. simple. (Compare excellent Cucumber and Tomato Salad With Cilantro and Mint, where his instructions are simply to toss all ingredients.) Doesn't need a blender, just a shaker.

Use as a starting point. Add mirin.
what's your secret
In our house we avoid soy as much as feasibly possible, so always replace soy sauce with coconut aminos. If anyone has other substitute suggestions for soy sauce, would love your secrets! Peace.

I used this dressing with a salad of spinach, sliced mushrooms, sliced red pepper and peanuts. Also, I used a tsp. of sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

We added extra rice vinegar and some maple syrup and really enjoyed this.

Too much oil for my taste- but I used Safflower in place of peanut. Added extra sesame, tamari and some honey.

An excellent, easy and quick dressing my whole family enjoys. From little ones to older ones : )

Added a teaspoon of sweetener & it was very nice. Grated ginger would be good, too.

A cheap dressing. Its like on the stock. If you have too many shares you can't beat the index. Here are thousands of recipes. Some must be under the line. This recipe is.
Ruthann
I used both rice vinegar and Meyer lemon juice...almost double the acid called for. Delicious!
John Neill
This is more easily made by putting all the ingredients into a suitably sized jar with good( clean !) seal .. vigorously shaken its both ready to use immediately, perfect to store for later use- & to instantly reconstitue !
