Ingredients
Salad
- 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 mayonnaise
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the cole slaw mix, corn, minced jalapeño (with seeds removed for moderate heat), chopped cilantro, and green onions. Toss these ingredients together gently to mix them evenly.
- Prepare Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, sugar, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix Salad and Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the coleslaw mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly until all the salad ingredients are fully coated with the dressing.
- Chill Before Serving: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill. Serve cold for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen corn depending on availability; thaw frozen corn before use.
- Remove jalapeño seeds to reduce heat, or leave some seeds for extra spice.
- This slaw pairs excellently with grilled meats or as a topping for tacos.
- Can be prepared a few hours ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
- Adjust sugar in the dressing to balance the lime's acidity according to taste.
