Fresh corn season has now just come to an end here in Indiana. Sadly. I love fresh sweet corn. Sweet corn is what makes this tangy coleslaw something special. It definitely tastes as great as it looks. There’s all sort of great crunchy veggies, from onion to bell peppers, to cabbage to carrots. And then there’s the dressing, which is a combination of sweet and tangy.
The Perfect Summer Slaw
I can’t say how much we enjoyed this tangy coleslaw. It screams ‘fresh’! Oh, and if you don’t want to take the time to grill or roast the corn and cut or peel the kernels (or you can’t get fresh corn-on-the-cob), substitute canned (drained) corn kernels instead.
Also try my Mardis Gras slaw.
This recipe is based on a recipe from Kelsey Nixon.
