Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
1/4 cup soy sauce, low sodium
1 1/2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup avocado or other neutral oil
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp Sambal Oelek chili paste, optional

Steps:

Toast the sesame seeds by placing in a skillet over medium heat. Stir often until they start to brown. Remove from heat and transfer to another dish as soon as they reach a golden color. They can go from brown to burnt quickly so keep a close watch. Let cool.
Whisk together all the ingredients in a mason jar or other container. If using a jar you can put the lid on and give it a good shake.
This dressing will keep in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

Sesame Cucumber and Avocado Salad image

Provided by Hetty McKinnon

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 ripe avocados
1 pound cucumbers (such as Persian or English), trimmed and thinly sliced
2 green, red or purple scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
Toasted sesame seeds, for topping

Steps:

Make the dressing: Place the sesame oil, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, sugar, soy sauce and red-pepper flakes into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water and whisk until emulsified. Taste, and adjust seasonings. (Dressing should taste acidic, a little sweet and salty.)
When you're ready to eat, prepare the salad: Halve the avocados and discard the pits. Using a small paring knife, carefully score the avocado flesh into 1/2-inch cubes, avoiding cutting through the skin. Use a large spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh (in one spoonful, if possible), as close to the skin as possible. Transfer avocado cubes to a large bowl and add the dressing; toss gently.
Add the cucumbers and scallions and toss everything together. Season with salt and black pepper, top with more sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
