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: Combine the shredded Napa or green cabbage, fresh corn kernels, minced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions in a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  2. 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 blended.
  3. Toss the coleslaw: Pour the dressing over the cabbage and vegetable mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly. Serve immediately for the freshest texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a milder coleslaw, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before mincing.
  • Use fresh corn for the best sweetness and texture; canned or frozen corn can be a substitute but will alter freshness.
  • This coleslaw is best served fresh but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
  • If you prefer a tangier dressing, add an extra teaspoon of lime juice.
  • Adjust the salt to taste depending on your preference or dietary requirements.
