Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger root. You should aim to have about 1 tablespoon of grated ginger.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the grated ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and water.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove, then add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined. This may take a minute or two to ensure the honey is thoroughly mixed in.
Season the dressing with black pepper to taste, whisking one final time to incorporate the seasoning evenly.
Transfer the salad dressing into an airtight container and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, shake or stir the dressing to ensure it's well-mixed. Use it to dress salads, as a marinade, or as a flavorful dipping sauce.
