Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil

- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the fresh lime juice, toasted sesame oil, olive oil, soy sauce, and honey. Whisk together until well combined.
Add the finely minced garlic and grated fresh ginger to the mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Let them cool slightly.
Stir the toasted sesame seeds into the dressing along with the salt and black pepper.

Transfer the dressing to a sealed jar or container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Shake well before serving.
