In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro.
Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss gently to coat.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the slaw stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional, but recommended. Refrigerate for several days to enhance flavors further if not serving immediately.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds (optional).
