Description

A refreshing and vibrant coleslaw that combines sweet corn with crunchy cabbage, perfect for summer barbecues.


Ingredients

  • 3 ears fresh corn (about 2 cups kernels)
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage (mix of green and purple)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro


Instructions

  1. Shuck the corn and rinse the ears under cool water.
  2. Grill the corn until slightly charred (about 10 minutes) or boil until tender. Let cool, then cut off the kernels.
  3. In a large bowl, combine corn kernels, shredded cabbage, and cilantro. Toss gently to mix.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, and chili powder until smooth.
  5. Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and toss until everything is well combined.
  6. Top with crumbled Cotija cheese just before serving for an added burst of flavor.

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise; you can also use lemon juice instead of lime.
