- Pour the dressing over the cabbage and vegetable mixture. Gently toss to ensure everything is well coated. Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.
- To finish, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for added texture, and garnish with orange slices. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours to enhance its flavor.
