Having Asian salad dressing on hand is a must for every salad lover. Instead of buying it all the time, it's very simple to make with only a handful of ingredients you likely already have in your pantry or fridge. Pair this with a Crunchy Delicious Asian Salad for the perfect meal or side dish.

How to make easy Asian Salad Dressing:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

  • Get all the ingredients together: olive oil, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, minced garlic, and ginger paste.
  • Mix everything together in a sealable jar or container until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together, then serve as desired.

Ingredients needed for Asian Dressing:

  • Olive oil - I recommend using an extra virgin olive oil for this recipe.
  • Rice Vinegar - found in the asian or international aisle at the grocery store. Do NOT use 'seasoned' rice vinegar in this recipe as that has added sugar and seasoning and the rest of the recipe would need to be adjusted.
  • Honey - the sweetness of the honey will balance out the recipe's tang. You can also substitute maple syrup if you don't have honey.
  • Sesame oil - this is very important and adds a ton of flavor and depth to the dressing. Can be found by the oils in the grocery store or in the international aisle, or on Amazon.
  • Soy sauce - I recommend using a dark reduced sodium soy sauce for this recipe. Regular sodium packs a lot of salt and this can throw off the balance of the asian salad dressing.
  • Salt - adding salt will balance out the recipe without having too much from a regular soy sauce.
  • Minced garlic - this will add a lot of flavor to the dressing. Garlic powder can be substituted in a pinch, but I prefer fresh. Use ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder in place of minced.
  • Ginger paste - this can be found near the herbs/vegetables in the grocery store. It is usually stored in the coolers. Ground ginger can be substituted, however in that case just use a dash of ground ginger.
  • Optional: add a dash of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of sriracha to add some heat to the dressing.

How to store homemade salad dressing:

  • I like to store my dressings in a mason jar or salad dressing shaker/container.
  • Whatever you store the asian dressing in, make sure that it has an airtight seal to keep the dressing fresh.

How long does homemade dressing last in the fridge?

Since this asian dressing is vinegar based, it can be stored up to 3 weeks in the fridge. Be sure to shake vigorously before serving.

Ways to use Asian Salad Dressing:

  • It's perfect on this homemade Asian salad.
  • Make shredded chicken then coat in this delicious sesame dressing for the perfect quick lunch.
  • Serve over this Crunchy Chicken Salad.
  • Bake this popular Easy Baked Tofu and then drizzle the Asian dressing over the top!

    In the description you said do not use seasoned rice vinegar. In the recipe you said seasoned rice vinegar. Which is it?

      Randee, thank you for pointing this out! I fixed the recipe card to reflect REGULAR Rice vinegar, not seasoned.

    When explaining the recipe you say not to use "seasoned rice vinegar" yet it is listed as an ingredient in the recipe instructions instead of just "rice vinegar". Which one to use? You also say to use a "ginger paste" or but the recipe itself calls for "minced ginger". Can you please clarify?
    P.S. I LOVE ALL YOUR RECIPES!

      Howard thank you for pointing this out! I fixed the recipe card to reflect REGULAR Rice vinegar, not seasoned. And the recipe calls for minced GARLIC, and GINGER paste which looks to be correct unless I am overlooking something, but obviously easy to interchange those 2 when quickly reading! I hope you like this dressing as much as we do!
