Peel and finely grate a piece of fresh ginger until you have about 1 tablespoon. Place it in a small mixing bowl or a mason jar with a lid.
Mince 1 clove of garlic and add it to the ginger.
Add 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of honey to the bowl (or jar). Mix well to combine.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice.
Season with 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Adjust salt to taste if needed.
Whisk everything together until emulsified or, if using a mason jar, securely close the lid and shake vigorously to combine.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning or balance of flavors to your preference, adding more honey for sweetness or lime juice for acidity if desired.
Store any leftover vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake or whisk before each use.
