Ingredients
  

For the Slaw
  • 1 package Coleslaw Mix A convenient base for your coleslaw; pre-packaged mixes save time.

  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro or Parsley Optional fresh herb for an aromatic touch.

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, corn kernels, chopped green onions, and pickled jalapeños. Gently fold together for about 3–5 minutes.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth, taking about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Pour the creamy dressing over the vegetable base and gently toss until evenly coated, taking another 2–3 minutes.
  4. Cover tightly or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Before serving, stir the coleslaw and transfer it to a serving bowl. Enjoy it with your favorite grilled meats or tacos.
