Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh corn, kernels removed
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage

  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, and grill the corn for 10-12 minutes until charred, then cool and remove kernels.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine charred corn, shredded cabbages, red onion, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over and toss until well combined.
