Sesame Dressing

Today’s recipe Sesame Dressing was one of the readers’ request a while ago. 
Since my son loves Japanese sesame dressing, I keep making different versions.


Some sesame dressing is too creamy (more mayonnaise) and he doesn’t like it too much.  This dressing on the other hand has just enough mayonnaise to be called “sesame dressing”.
