Asian-inspired ingredients are used to create a flavourful creamy dip to serve with fresh, raw vegetables.
For the dip: In a medium mixing bowl add mayonnaise, sour cream, rice vinegar, sesame oil, orange zest, orange juice, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, salt and finely minced green onions. Whisk the ingredients well until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for two hours or overnight to allow the flavours to meld.
Assemble the vegetable platter: Place the dip in a small to medium serving bowl on a large platter and sprinkle top of the dip with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. On the same day needed, cut the desired vegetables into finger size/bite size pieces as desired and arrange them on the platter around the dip. Cover and refrigerate the platter until needed (up to a few hours). Add the sesame crackers to the platter or to a separate bowl when ready to serve.
