Applebee’s Oriental Salad Dressing

I have to admit that the Applebee’s Oriental Salad Dressing had me stumped, and stumped for a long time. I love the sweet, almost smoky flavor of the Applebee’s Oriental Salad Dressing—I haven’t been able to go into that restaurant and not order extra salad dressing each time. So I began the experimenting. This salad dressing is a variation on vinaigrette. Vinaigrettes are made with vinegar, oil, seasonings, and Dijon mustard. Since this dressing was creamy, adding mayonnaise gives this dressing creaminess. And for the oil, we use regular sesame oil (that you’d use for cooking) plus toasted sesame oil. Using all toasted sesame oil overpowers the salad dressing, so you just want to use a touch of it in the dressing for an enhanced flavor.

I love making homemade salad dressings, you know all of the ingredients inside of the recipe, and you can customize the salad dressing the way you like.
