How to Make Orange-Sesame Salad Dressing

Salad dressing is made with oil and seasonings.

Despite what one might think making your own salad dressing is not complicated. In most cases the ingredients listed can be blended together in a container with a lid and shaken so they are combined. An orange sesame salad dressing is ideal to pair with Asian dishes. It is light, yet hearty in flavor and is best served over an Asian noodle salad, or mixed greens with, without grilled chicken.
