Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Honey
• 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk together until fully blended.

Step 2

Add the honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice. Whisk again to ensure the honey dissolves and the ingredients are well-combined.

Step 3

Season the mixture with freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust flavoring as needed, such as adding more honey for sweetness or lime juice for tanginess.

Step 4

If the dressing feels too thick, whisk in 1 tablespoon of water to thin it to your desired consistency.

Step 5

Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle with a lid for easy storage or use.

Step 6

Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds over the dressing or directly on your salad for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Serve immediately over salad greens, grilled vegetables, or as a dip. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
