Ingredients
Scale
Slaw
- 1 (14 oz) bag cole slaw mix
- 2 cups corn, fresh or frozen and thawed
- ¼ cup minced jalapeño, seeds removed
- ½ cup roughly chopped cilantro
- 3 green onions, chopped
Dressing
- ½ cup mayo
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the slaw ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cole slaw mix, corn, minced jalapeño (seeds removed), chopped cilantro, and chopped green onions. Toss gently to mix all the fresh ingredients evenly.
- Prepare the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well blended to create the flavorful dressing.
- Dress the slaw: Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture, then toss thoroughly until every ingredient is fully coated with the dressing.
- Chill before serving: Place the dressed slaw in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and serve cold for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh corn when possible for the best flavor, but frozen corn thawed works well too.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeño according to your preferred spice level.
- For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Can be made a few hours ahead; just keep chilled until ready to serve.
- Great as a side dish for grilled meats or as a topping for tacos.
