• For a deeper, nuttier flavor, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes before mixing.
• Adjust the salt to your preference. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste if you prefer a lower-sodium blend.
• Use flaky sea salt, like Maldon, instead of coarse salt for a lighter, crunchier texture.
