Notes
Make It Spicy: If you enjoy a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
Roasting Sesame Seeds: You can use plain sesame seeds and dry roast them in a frying pan over medium heat until lightly brown. Do not add any butter or oil. Roasting the seeds first will give them the best flavor.
Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet dressing, reduce the honey or substitute with a mild sweetener like maple syrup or a low-glycemic option such as monk fruit.
