Thinly slice the green cabbage into thin strips until you have approximately 4 cups. Place them into a large salad bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots to measure 1 cup. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper into small strips and add 0.5 cup to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, freshly grated ginger, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.
Add the salt-free seasoning blend to the dressing and stir to incorporate.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until all the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Slice the green onions finely and add them to the slaw, gently folding them in.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top of the salad as a garnish.
Let the slaw rest in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the slaw chilled, giving it a final toss before serving. Enjoy as a refreshing side dish!
