Sesame Salad Dressing

Description

This salad dressing has some unusual ingredients for an outstanding flavor. The small amount of steamed zucchini gives the dressing some of its texture, and the combination of garlic, lemon juice and soy gives the dressing its zip. It is great on a salad of Asian or baby greens, or try it over steamed asparagus or broccoli.

Ingredients

1/4 cup sesame seeds (buy raw hulled seeds and toast them in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring constantly)
1/4 cup sliced, steamed zucchini
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley
1 clove garlic, chopped

Instructions

1. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until browned.

2. Combine the sesame seeds and remaining ingredients in a blender container. Blend until smooth.
