Begin by peeling and grating 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger. Transfer the grated ginger to a small mixing bowl.
In the same bowl, add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar. Stir to combine.
Slowly pour in 1 cup of olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the mixture.
Add 2 tablespoons of honey to the mixture and continue to whisk until the honey is thoroughly integrated.
Mince 1 clove of garlic and add it to the dressing, ensuring it's well combined.
Pour in 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, stirring well to incorporate all the flavors.
Season the dressing with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, adjusting to taste if necessary.
Transfer the finished ginger dressing to a bottle or jar with a lid, and shake well before use.
Refrigerate until ready to use. Shake or stir before serving as the ingredients may separate over time.
