Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated in the dressing.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top for added crunch and a nutty flavor.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, toss the slaw again and taste to adjust any seasoning if necessary.
