Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Add the green cabbage, red cabbage, corn, bell pepper, red onion, green onions, cilantro, and jalapeño to a large bowl.
- Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, hot sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Combine: Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Serve: Give the slaw another gentle toss before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro or sliced jalapeño if desired.
Notes
- For a smokier flavor, char the corn in a hot skillet for 4–5 minutes before adding it to the slaw. Let it cool first so it stays crisp.
