Ingredients
- 4 fresh corn on the cob, shucked
- 1/2 red cabbage, sliced
- 1 lime, juiced
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
- Handful fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
Directions
Heat a grill pan over medium heat.
Grill the corn on the hot grill pan, turning periodically, until cooked and grill marks are all around the corn. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, toss the cabbage with the lime juice; season with salt and pepper, to taste, and set aside.
Once the corn has cooled, cut the kernels off the cob and add it to the bowl with the cabbage. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary. Add the crumbled queso fresco and cilantro leaves and stir to combine. Serve as a side dish or use as a taco topping.
Notes
If you are not a fan of cilantro (the soap tasting folk), try flat-leaf parsley or even celery leaves.
I love to use a pinch of cayenne pepper or spicy paprika or even cumin instead of black pepper for a spicy kick.
To make this a creamy slaw side, try tossing in 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or whipped avocado

I don't know what posessed me to add cilantro to this. It killed any deliciousness that was there. I think I might keep the grilled corn idea for future, but that was really the only thing I cared for. The cabbage was ok in it, I guess the cilantro just overpowered everything. She does say not to use it if you aren't a fan, I don't know what I was thinking.

On it's own, this slaw is okay. With the chipotle lime chicken tacos, it was perfect. My husband and son looked at it and were afraid to try it (they're not big veggie or slaw eaters, but I made them try it and to their amazement, they liked it. This recipe makes a ton. The leftovers weren't bad, a little limey, but I mixed in just a touch of the chipotle-lime cream sauce and it was fine.
