Easy Cabbage and Corn Slaw with Fresh Dill

Cabbage and corn kernels are combined in a coleslaw marriage made in salad heaven. This easy cabbage and corn slaw, flavored with fresh dill, goes well with most any kind of meal.

Options and shortcuts: For this corn slaw, use fresh green cabbage or an 8-ounce bag of prepared coleslaw. Use a bottled vinaigrette or make your own with the recipe provided. Use fresh corn kernels or thawed frozen corn kernels.

The best combination is freshly cut cabbage, fresh-off-the-cob corn kernels, and homemade vinaigrette. The must-have is fresh dill — dried dill just won’t be the same in this slaw. If dill isn’t your favorite herb, you can swap in parsley or cilantro.
