Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables in the large bowl.
Use tongs or a large spoon to toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or sugar to balance the flavors.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss and transfer to a serving dish.
