Green Tomato and Corn Slaw
This quick and easy slaw is great thrown on top of tacos, quesadillas, or just mixed with some guacamole.
- 2 ears of corn
- One large green tomato or 2 medium
- 2 tablespoons red onion diced paper-thin
- Handful fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- drizzle agave nectar or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- A little cracked black pepper
- A little minced garlic (to taste)
- A little diced jalepeño pepper (to taste)
- Cut a small piece off a green jalepeño pepper and mince into very small pieces. Jalepeño strength will vary so taste a tiny bit and decide how much to use. Mince a little garlic into very small pieces. Set aside.
- Blanch (steam) corn for just a minute so it becomes less starchy, but not entirely cooked. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile, dice up the green tomato into 1/4 inch pieces. Dice cilantro. Cut a few paper-thin slivers of red onion and then dice up into even smaller pieces. Cut corn kernels off cob once corn is room temp.
- Combine corn, green tomatoes, cilantro, onion, rice vinegar, lemon or lime juice, garlic (to taste), salt and pepper, jalepeño (to taste) in a large bowl and toss well. Drizzle a little agave nectar and toss more. Add more salt or jalepeño if necessary. Let sit for an hour for flavors to combine.
