Corn Coleslaw
A refreshing summer side dish! Here’s a detailed introduction to Corn Coleslaw:
Introduction:

– Summer barbecues
– Picnics

This slaw is a twist on traditional coleslaw, adding fresh corn kernels to the mix. The corn adds a pop of sweetness and texture, balancing out the tanginess of the dressing.
Key Ingredients:
– Fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears of corn)
– Shredded cabbage

– Apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
– Sugar or honey
– Salt and pepper
Tips and Variations:
1. Use fresh corn: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh corn kernels.
2. Adjust the sweetness: Add more or less sugar/honey to balance the slaw’s sweetness.
3. Add some heat: Mix in diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
4. Try different dressings: Experiment with Greek yogurt or sour cream for a creamier slaw.
5. Add some crunch: Mix in chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture.
