Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 8 cups shredded Napa or green cabbage
- 3 ears fresh corn (about 2 cups worth)
- 1/2 large jalapeno, minced (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped small (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 green onions, sliced thin (about 1/4 cup)
Dressing
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Combine the shredded cabbage, fresh corn kernels (cut from the cob), minced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions in a large mixing bowl to create the base of the coleslaw.
- Make the dressing: In a smaller bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, Dijon mustard, fresh lime juice, celery seeds, and kosher salt until smooth and well combined.
- Toss the coleslaw: Pour the prepared dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything well to evenly coat the vegetables with the dressing.
- Serve: The coleslaw can be served immediately for fresh, crisp flavor or chilled briefly in the refrigerator to meld the flavors before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, include more jalapeno or add some seeds when mincing.
- Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing option.
- Fresh corn is preferable for the best texture, but frozen corn (thawed) can be used in a pinch.
- Letting the coleslaw sit for 15-30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld nicely.
- This coleslaw pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats or as a topping for tacos and sandwiches.
