Step 2

Place corn on hot grill and cook until charred on all sides, about 15 minutes. Remove corn from grill and cool.
Step 3

Pour lime juice into a bowl; add cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour olive oil into lime juice mixture while continuously whisking until dressing is smooth. Add cabbage and jalapeno pepper to dressing and toss.
Step 4

Cut corn from cob and mix into cabbage mixture. Crumble queso fresco over slaw; toss well.

Cook's Note:

For ease in removing corn from cob, place the narrow end of cob in a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt(R)). This gives you a holder for the cob and it catches the removed corn kernels.

Everyone loved it! Made it as listed. Just be sure to really grill/blacken the corn. This adds an incredible sweetness. Great with fish tacos! Read More

I tasted this many times before serving to the family hoping the dressing would soon help the slaw start to "speak up", but I thought it was VERY bland. And yes, I did grill the corn. I ended up adding 2-3 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning and it improved the flavor a lot. I may make this slaw again but will leave myself a note to add the Cajun seasoning each time! I will say that the colors made a beautiful presentation on the plate! Read More

I loved this recipe even though I made it last minute and did not have all the ingredients (cilantro). Adding this herb would have made it perfect! I also eliminated the jalapeno, but added avocado. Simple summer recipe to use my red cabbage and fresh corn from the farm :) Read More
