A zesty and flavorful Mexican Street Corn Coleslaw that combines fresh ingredients for a delicious side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed (or fresh grilled corn, cut off the cob)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta if unavailable)
  • Optional: extra chili powder and cotija for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, corn, red onion, and cilantro.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, vinegar, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Gently fold in the cotija cheese.
