You might have seen Japanese Creamy Sesame Dressing at Asian grocery stores. It’s very popular in Japan. You don’t need to buy it as it is actually quite easy to make if you have Sesame Seeds and Japanese Mayonnaise. And you know exactly what’s in it when you make it yourself. This is a very simple Wombok salad. Thanks to the Dressing, it is not a boring salad, but you may wish to add some protein such as Chicken OR Bacon.
