Ingredients
  

Coleslaw Ingredients
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix (a blend of cabbage and carrots)
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels (or canned corn if you’re in a pinch)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice for a zesty flavor
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder add more for a spicier kick
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup crumbled queso fresco for creaminess
  • to taste Fresh cilantro for garnish optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, toss together the coleslaw mix and fresh corn kernels.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss gently until well-coated.
  4. Crumble the queso fresco over the top and stir gently to combine.
  5. Let the coleslaw chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  6. Top with fresh cilantro right before serving.

Notes

For an added kick, consider tossing in diced jalapeños. This dish can be made a day in advance; just keep the queso fresco separate until you’re ready to serve.
