In a small dry skillet over medium heat, add the sesame seeds and toast them until golden brown, stirring frequently to avoid burning. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the toasted sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, and lime juice. Whisk the ingredients together until well mixed.
Add the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the flavors evenly.
Once the toasted sesame seeds have cooled, add them to the dressing mixture along with the salt and ground black pepper.
Give the dressing a final whisk to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Shake well before serving. Enjoy the dressing over your favorite salads, vegetables, or as a marinade for meats.
