Notes
- Make ahead - to allow the flavors to meld. Gets better and better.
- Don't skip roasting the corn - it brings out the flavor and is a key part.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning - Feel free to add more lime juice for brightness or sugar for extra sweetness.
- Stir before serving - The dressing may settle at the bottom, so stir it before serving.
- Prep the vegetables early - You can prep the vegetables and dressing up to a day in advance. Combine them about 30 minutes before serving for the most crunch.
Storage
- Refrigerate the coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure to stir before serving to mix any dressing that could have settled to the bottom.
- Freezing is not recommended for this slaw. The creamy dressing can seperate and the vegetables would lose their crisp texture.
