Orange-lemon sesame dressing served

Orange-Lemon Sesame Dressing

Tahini-based sesame dressings are popular elements of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Combined with the freshness of orange and lemon, this dressing gains a special citrusy flavor that goes well with salads and grilled vegetables. Toasted sesame seeds add a crunchy texture to the silky sauce. As the tangy, refreshing flavors of orange and lemon blend with the rich, nutty aroma of sesame seeds, the kitchen is filled with a medley of citrusy and spicy aromas. This dressing is the perfect addition to any light, summer dish.
