Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine coleslaw mix, corn kernels, chopped green onions, and chopped pickled jalapeños. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until evenly mixed.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture. Toss carefully to coat all the veggies evenly in the creamy dressing.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Before serving, give the coleslaw a gentle stir to redistribute the dressing and taste to adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
