Steps
Use a pestle and mortar to crush and grind the toasted sesame seeds. It is fine to have some intact seeds here and there.
Add sesame seeds, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, soy sauce and honey to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Drizzle in sesame oil and stir to combine.
Taste the dressing and adjust to your liking. Once you are happy with how it tastes, check the consistency. If it is too thick, you can add in just a bit of water (1/2 - 1 teaspoon) to adjust the consistency.

Reviews
Patti Cochran on 2026-06-30 (5 stars): I’m happy to have read your notes about toasting the sesame in a pan- a time saver. I think I may use bothe the seeds for crunch and some tahini to eliminate some of the mayo. I also cannot eat any soy sauce or tamari or coconut aminos so I think I will add some powdered mushrooms with seasoning for a umami flavor. Thanks so much- I will use this daily during the summer.
