Mexican Street Corn Coleslaw

[heart_this] · Sep 1, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Mexican Street Corn Coleslaw

An easy to make coleslaw with all of the flavours of Mexican street corn!

Coleslaw, a shredded cabbage based salad, is a staple side dish and it’s always fun to change the flavours up a little, like in this one which is inspired by Mexican style street corn. Other than the shredded cabbage the main ingredients of this slaw is fresh corn and cotija cheese along with jalapeno, green onions and cilantro. A popular coleslaw dressing is mayonnaise based and it works well here since Mexican street corn is slathered in mayo! The dressing is finished with some tangy lime juice along with a pinch of red chili powder, which is often sprinkled on the Mexican street corn! This coleslaw is easy to make and the combination of the creamy and tangy dressing on the crunchy cabbage, sweet corn, and salty cheese is amazing!
