I love using Napa Cabbage when I’m making this Cole Slaw with Lime Juice. The ruffled edges and pale green color of the cabbage looks so inviting. Of course, you can use regular green cabbage with no problem. This Cole Slaw with Lime Juice has no mayo. It’s crunchy with chewy corn kernels. The easiest way to add the corn kernels is by running frozen corn under hot water and draining. Another way is to slice the corn off fresh cobs and add that to the cole slaw. Generally, you get a few rows of corn stuck together; which gives the coleslaw a more hand done look.
This is a perfect Cole Slaw to bring on a picnic, add to tacos as a crunchy layer, or just add to a salad buffet.

Hint: I prefer slicing the cabbage by hand and then giving it a coarse chop. You can do it in a processor or even buy a bag of pre-sliced cabbage.
