For a healthier twist, substitute olive oil for vegetable oil and use a sugar substitute like stevia or honey. To add more flavor and color, consider adding mandarin orange segments or dried cranberries. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to whisk it again before using.
