Classic Corn Slaw

Nutritional Highlights

Cabbage is a great source of Vitamins K and C

Corn contains eye-protecting antioxidants, Lutein and Zeaxanthin

Directions

  • Place the vinegar, 1 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and then remove from the heat.

  • Place the cabbage and carrots in a bowl and pour in two-thirds of the salty liquid. In a separate bowl, pour the remaining liquid over the onion and set both aside for 20 minutes.

  • Rinse the vegetables and onion well, pat dry, place together in a large bowl, and set aside.

  • Place a ridged grill pan over high heat, and when it starts to smoke, lay the corn on it. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning so that all sides get some color. Remove from heat and, when cool enough to handle, shave off the corn using a knife. Add corn to the vegetable bowl.

  • Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients and pour over the salad ingredients. Stir gently.

  • Add the chile, cilantro, and mint, along with black pepper to taste. Stir gently and serve.

  • Optional: top with grilled chicken, salmon, or shrimp
