Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Beans

  • 1 bag coleslaw mix (14 ounces)
  • 1 can corn (13.75 ounces), rinsed and drained
  • 1 chopped bell pepper (any color)
  • 1 can black beans (13.75 ounces), rinsed and drained
  • 1 chopped jalapeño pepper, seeds removed
  • 1/4 cup minced cilantro

Dressing

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 ounce)
  • 1/4 cup lime juice

Instructions

  1. Combine Vegetables and Beans: In a large bowl, mix together the coleslaw mix, chopped bell pepper, rinsed corn, black beans, minced cilantro, and chopped jalapeño pepper until evenly distributed.
  2. Prepare Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and taco seasoning packet to create a smooth, flavorful dressing.
  3. Toss Salad with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the coleslaw mixture, then gently toss until all ingredients are well coated.
  4. Add Lime Juice: Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the salad and toss again to evenly distribute the tangy flavor throughout.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld before serving. Serve chilled for best taste and freshness.

Notes

  • For a spicier salad, include the jalapeño seeds or add more jalapeños to taste.
  • Use fresh corn kernels if preferred instead of canned corn for added sweetness and crunch.
  • To make it vegan, substitute mayonnaise and sour cream with vegan alternatives.
  • Best served chilled; the salad improves in flavor if prepared a few hours ahead.
  • Adjust lime juice based on taste preference for acidity.
