A super fresh and tasty salad featuring cabbage, corn, carrots, and jalapeño. Tossed in a zesty lime dressing. A fantastic side for sandwiches, sloppy joes, pulled jackfruit, burgers, crabless cakes, and more!
This Zesty Cabbage and Corn Slaw is a fresh and easy salad consisting of shredded cabbage and carrots, whole kernel corn, diced onion and jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
You can also use a cabbage vegetable blend. Many times, I use a bag of broccoli slaw which contains shredded cabbage, broccoli stalks, and carrots.
Just like most slaws, this one is tossed in a tangy and zesty dressing with just a hint of lime, paprika, garlic, and chili. There is zero oil and no refined sugar. Only wholesome plant-based veggies and seasonings.
This vegetable salad is fragrant, light, and fresh. Thanks to the crisp cabbage, it also possesses some mega crunch factor. And even better, it only takes a few minutes to bring it all together.
Feel free to garnish this Zesty Cabbage and Corn Slaw with fresh lime wedges, avocado, vegan feta cheese, and/or chopped cilantro. And if you’d like to transform this side salad into an entree, you can easily do so by tossing in some cubed avocado, chopped bell peppers, and black beans.
And since every good sandwich needs a delicious side salad, look no further. This one’s a keeper and will sure to become a favorite of yours for years to come. Serve this Zesty Cabbage and Corn Slaw with hearty Veggie Burgers, Pulled Jackfruit Sliders, Vegan Sloppy Joes, Plant-based Street Tacos, or crabless cakes.
This Zesty Cabbage and Corn Slaw stores well in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for two to three days.
I hope you enjoy this Zesty Cabbage and Corn Slaw as much as I do.
