To use, simply shake the bottle well before opening. Pour the desired amount over your favorite salad greens, ensuring an even coating.

How it differs from similar foods
Compared to lighter vinaigrettes, this dressing offers a richer, more robust flavor due to the toasted sesame oil. It has a thicker consistency than many oil-and-vinegar based dressings, which allows it to cling better to ingredients. The savory and slightly sweet notes also set it apart from more acidic or herb-focused options.

Home cooks looking to add a quick burst of Asian-inspired flavor to their meals will find this dressing useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate the dressing to maintain its freshness. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed between uses. It is best to consume the remaining dressing within the recommended timeframe indicated on the packaging to enjoy its optimal flavor.
