In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey until well combined.
Add the finely minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to incorporate.
Slowly drizzle in the toasted sesame oil and olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the vinaigrette.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
If using, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant. Sprinkle on top of the vinaigrette before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or whisk well before each use.
