Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 8 cups shredded Napa or green cabbage
  • 3 ears fresh corn (about 2 cups kernels)
  • 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

  1. Prepare the vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, fresh corn kernels removed from the ears, minced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, and thinly sliced green onions. Mix thoroughly to combine all the fresh ingredients evenly.
  2. Make the dressing: In a smaller bowl or a large measuring cup, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, dijon mustard, fresh lime juice, celery seeds, and kosher salt until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
  3. Toss coleslaw with dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the cabbage mixture, then toss everything well to ensure the coleslaw is evenly coated. Serve immediately for the best fresh texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For milder heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before mincing.
  • Fresh corn is best in summer; canned corn can be used in a pinch but drain well.
  • This coleslaw is best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; it may release water and lose some crunch if stored longer.
  • Feel free to adjust the sugar and lime juice according to your taste preference for sweetness and acidity.
