About Sesame dressing

Sesame dressing is a prepared sauce or pourable condiment in which sesame contributes flavour and, in some versions, a creamy texture. It may be pale or dark depending on ingredients such as sesame paste, soy sauce, or other seasonings, and can range from thin to thick. It is used on salads and vegetables or as a dipping and finishing sauce.

The name covers many recipes rather than a standardized formulation. Products may contain oil, vinegar, sweeteners, salt, or other seasonings, while homemade versions vary further. It may be sold ready-made or prepared from a concentrated base; the sesame form and the other ingredients affect its taste and consistency.
