Traditionally Japanese sesame dressing (Goma Dressing) is made with Japanese mayonnaise. To simply the method, I use Paleo and Whole30 Mayo. Both Primal Kitchen and Tessemae’s mayo are Whole30 compliant. Why toast and grind sesame seeds? I did not want to use tahini for this since I wanted a more of the rich nutty flavor of sesame to come through. Tahini is a paste made from ground toasted sesame seeds. In tahini, sesame seeds are usually finely ground then mixed with some type of oil to take it into a pasty consistency. There are many dishes that pair well with this delicious creamy dressing. In my opinion, it pairs well with cold side dishes, such as Japanese cucumber salad, Silken tofu recipe, Bok choy salad, Gomaae Japanese spinach salad, or chopped bok choy salad. More Paleo, Dairy-free and Whole30 salad dressings: Lumpy Tahini? If your tahini is a little hard, you can try zapping it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to help soften it. If you’re still finding it lumpy when trying to combine, run the sauce through a sieve for an extra smooth and creamy result.

I first bought this sesame dressing because of my reverence for the Kewpie brand. (They put MSG in mayo! Respect.) The mottled, miso-hued liquid initially looked sugary-sweet—like something from Newman’s Own—but where was the flaccid plastic bottle I love-hate?! This one came in glass, and it called to me from the shelves of the Japanese supermarket I was in. Seeing “Kewpie” in all caps on the label was all I needed to gingerly plop it into my shopping basket. It was a guarantee of delicious things ahead, an invitation into the Kewpie lifestyle.Add sesame seeds to a dry pan and heat on medium-high. Toast sesame seeds for a couple of minutes, or until they turn slightly golden, then transfer them to a mortar. Keep the heat on the pan and add neutral oil to heat until it’s hot. SO delicious!
