Description

A vibrant and flavorful coleslaw featuring sweet charred corn, crunchy cabbage, and a zesty creamy dressing, perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh corn, kernels removed
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning until charred. Remove and let cool.
  2. Once cool, stand the corn upright and slice down the sides to remove the kernels.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream (if using), lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  4. Add the charred corn, green and red cabbage, onion, and cilantro to the dressing. Mix well.
  5. Adjust seasoning with more lime juice or chili powder to taste.
  6. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika. For a vegan option, use vegan mayonnaise and cashew cream.
