Sesame Orange Dipping Sauce

Yields about 1 cup

Thick, rich and creamy this dipping sauce was made to compliment winter nori roll but it goes well with crudités, use as a condiment or spread. It can double as a pesto too!

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup raw sesame seeds
  • 1 orange, peeled, seeded
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon ginger
  • 1 tablespoon coarse pepper berries
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, remove leaves from stem
  • ¼ cup cold pressed extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Peel orange, separate segments, remove any seeds and put in blender or food processor. Add all remaining ingredients, except olive oil, and blend until incorporated. While blender is still running, slowly add olive oil, blending until thick and emulsified.

Serve immediately or chilled for later use. Stir before serving. This dip should keep in the refrigerator up to one week.

This is awesome! I didn’t have raw sesame on hand but will add next time. I added some flax seed oil as well (which I can’t stand but force myself to eat). This recipe is so good. Works great as a salad dressing.

Do you think it would be good with sesame oil, or would that bee too much?

Hi angie, sorry I’m just now replying to your question. It has been awhile since I’ve visited this site. Ok, sesame oil, I haven’t tried it but in theory I think it would work. I imagine it would add a more pungent flavor. This isn’t a bad thing, especially if you like sesame, as I do. Have you tried it with sesame oil yet?
