Main Ingredients
- 100g canned corn, drained
- 100g cabbage, finely shredded
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- A little black pepper
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- A little black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, drain the canned corn thoroughly using a sieve. Removing excess water will make the salad taste cleaner and more pleasant. Wash the cabbage, pat it dry, and then shred it as finely as possible. The thinner the shredding, the softer the texture will be. Combine the drained corn and shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Now it’s time to make the delicious dressing. Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of ketchup for a touch of sweetness and tang, 1 teaspoon of vinegar for a bright acidity, 1 teaspoon of sugar to enhance the sweetness, a pinch of salt for seasoning, and a little black pepper to the corn and cabbage in the mixing bowl. Using measuring cups and spoons will help ensure the perfect flavor balance.
Step 3
Once all the ingredients and dressing are ready, it’s time to gently mix everything together. Use a spatula or spoon to thoroughly combine the corn, cabbage, and dressing ingredients in the bowl. Be careful not to mash the corn kernels; mix gently. Ensure the dressing is evenly coated on all the shredded cabbage for the best flavor.
Step 4
The well-mixed corn salad is delicious immediately, but chilling it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours allows the flavors to meld, resulting in a richer and more complex taste. Serving it in a pretty bowl makes it an elegant side dish, and adding it to sandwiches or burgers creates a wonderful filling. For a variation, you can also mash in some boiled eggs or add pineapple chunks for a different flavor profile.
