Gather these ingredients
I love how fresh and summery this tangy cole slaw salad is. Then for the dressing, it’s easy: mayo, creme fraiche (or sour cream), white vinegar, orange zest, and a tiny bit of sugar.
- Mayonnaise
- Creme fraiche
- Napa cabbage
- Purple cabbage
- Shredded carrot
- Fresh corn
- White vinegar
- Sugar
- Lemons

How do you make Corn Slaw?
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbages, corn, and carrots. Mix until combined.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the mayonnaise mixture onto the cabbage mixture and mix until coated.
- Serve cold on your favorite barbecue sandwiches, or as a side dish.
Tips and substitutions:
- You can use green cabbage or add shaved fennel.
- If you use canned corn, make sure it is well drained (although the salad won’t be as fresh tasting).
- Optional to add in summer herbs (cilantro or basil).
- Add a kick to the salad by adding in shaved jalapeno (make sure and remove the seeds first).
- Optional to add shaved apples.
- Double the recipe for a potluck dish – it will be devoured quickly!
This is the ultimate summer salad. You can also make last-minute, as it only takes 15 mintues to make this recipe. Some of the most meaningful times together around our table have involved last-minute hosting.
With no time to plan, you can even order a pizza, serve this salad, and you’ve got a meal.
Enjoy!
