Instructions

- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined, creating a tangy dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top for added crunch and flavor just before serving.
