How to Make Corn Slaw Salad

A Delicious Salad for Barbecues, Picnics, Potluck Dinners, and Family Gatherings
This corn salad recipe has all the ingredients of a complete one-dish meal for a family, but is best used as a side dish to bring to a barbecue, pot-luck dinner, picnic, or family gathering.
Corn is harvested in the late summer here in my home State of New Jersey, and I will brag a bit and say that New Jersey has delicious corn. Locals simply call it "Jersey Corn".
This recipe is best made the night before, or at least several hours before you plan to serve it so that the flavors blend nicely. Plus making a salad ahead of time means that you can make the salad when you can fit it into your schedule. Leftovers will last in the refrigerator for a few days.

Corn Slaw Salad Recipe and Instructions
Click "Printable Version" at the end of the Recipe to Print

- Serves: 6
- Prep Time: 20 min - 1/2 hours
- Total Time: 3 Hours incl time in Refigerator
Ingredients
- 2 15+ oz. cans organic of corn
- 1 small head of cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped green or white onion
- 8 oz - 1 lb of cubed sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 - 1/2 Cup of Sliced Black Olives
- 1 Chopped Red Pepper or 1/8 cup Pimentos
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 1/2 Cup Light Mayo or enough to coat
- Fresh Parsley Leaves or Paprika
Instructions
Drain Corn and add to large bowl.
Remove loose outer leaves from cabbage, wash, and chop or slice into SMALL pieces and add to bowl.
Prepare and add all remaining ingredients as described in the list, put them in the bowl, and stir together gently until everything is lightly coated with mayonnaise.
I like to make this the day or evening before it is going to be served so that the flavors have time to blend while it cools in the refrigerator, but a couple of hours in the refrigerator before eating is adequate...and included in the preparation time indicated.
Before you serve it, give it a gentle stirring, add a little more mayo if it needs it, and decorate the top with sprigs of washed parsley if you like or sprinkle with a little Paprika for color.
Clear Bowl for Colorful Salads
As opposed to those with Mayonnaise
Here is a lovely example of the kind of bowl that would show off the beauty of a colorful salad that does not contain any dressing.

What Bowl Makes This Salad Look Best?
Choosing the Right Salad Bowl
Because there is mayonnaise in this salad, you may want to use an opaque bowl like the one pictured rather than a clear one...you can use a colorful salad bowl if you like for a more cheerful table. This will "hide" the mayonnaise that is on the sides of the bowl. A clear bowl is more suited to colorful salads, like your tossed, layered or fruit salads.

Why you should Buy Organic Canned Corn
12 15 oz. Can Case of Organic Canned Corn
If you are concerned about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) containing foods, you will want to purchase organic corn. I do. If you have a moment, stop by and visit a page I wrote about GMO containing and GMO free foods. It's a very important matter that you should be aware of if you are not already.

- I'm looking for a side dish to bring to Thanksgiving this year, when we'll be guests yet again. I think I'll try this! Whether it ends up being THE side dish we bring doesn't matter; it sounds really good! And simple enough for me--who can't cook very well--to handle.
