Begin by lightly toasting the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently until they become golden brown and aromatic, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
Remove the toasted sesame seeds from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, toasted sesame oil, and lemon juice.
Add the monk fruit sweetener to the liquid mixture and stir until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Incorporate the minced garlic and grated ginger into the mixture, ensuring they are well-distributed.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper according to taste.
Add the cooled toasted sesame seeds to the bowl and stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid to store.
Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before using, which will allow the flavors to meld together well.
Shake well before serving. This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
