Cabbage and Corn Slaw

I've waited way too long to post this one. We're at the tail end of the fresh corn season but there is still a chance you can grab a few ears from the farmer's market. If you are successful, try this slaw. It was a big hit  at a recent family get together.

1 small cabbage or 1/2 of a large one, shredded
4 ears fresh corn, kernels cut from the cobs
2 medium carrots, grated
6 scallions, thinly sliced (or equivalent amount of sweet onion
1 two inch piece fresh ginger, minced
1/3 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tbl. fresh lime juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Combine the cabbage, corn, carrots, scallions and ginger in a large bowl.  In a small bowl, whisk the rice vinegar, vegetable oil and lime juice.  Coat the vegetables with the dressing. Use just enough dressing to lightly coat.  Add the cilantro and toss. Season with salt and pepper.

Serves 8 as a side dish
