Preparation

Step 1

Blend all dressing ingredients and set in the fridge for the flavors to start to meld.

Step 2

Saute the corn in a large dry pan on medium high heat. The corn will start to brown, stir before it burns and remove when it’s reached your desired done-ness.

Step 3

Add to a large bowl with the slaw mix, minced pepper, onion or pickled onion. Top with the dressing, reserving some so it does not become too over saturated.

Step 4

Sprinkle with cilantro and cotija or feta cheese. Enjoy!
