Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups fresh cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 1–2 jalapenos, thinly sliced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Dressing

  • 1/3 cup plant-based mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (natural) or agave syrup (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Finely shred the cabbage and thinly slice the jalapenos and red bell pepper. Chop the fresh cilantro. Rinse the corn kernels if using fresh or thaw frozen corn thoroughly to ensure freshness and optimal texture.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the plant-based mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar (natural), and honey (natural) or agave syrup (natural). Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, then taste and adjust the balance of tanginess and sweetness as desired.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the shredded cabbage, corn, jalapenos, red bell pepper, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over the mixture and fold everything carefully until the coleslaw is evenly coated and vibrant.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify. Serve chilled for the freshest and most enjoyable taste experience.

Notes

  • Use crisp cabbage and fresh jalapenos for the best texture and flavor.
  • Remove jalapeno seeds to reduce heat if preferred, while retaining pepper flavor.
  • Adjust honey or agave syrup depending on the natural sweetness of the corn and your preferred spice level.
  • Allowing the coleslaw to chill enhances the blending of flavors.
  • Use a sharp knife to maintain vegetable texture and avoid bruising.
