Broccoli Corn Slaw is a fresh and easy side that works well for summer meals, picnics, or weeknight dinners. It comes together quickly and uses ingredients that are simple and easy to find. The mix of crunchy broccoli and sweet corn makes it a great balance of texture and flavor.
Broccoli Corn Slaw
This slaw is tangy, zesty, and full of fresh flavors. I am not a traditional cole slaw eater, and this is not a conventional slaw recipe. In fact, it may be considered more of a salad than slaw – so call it whatever you want.
I used a prepackaged coleslaw mix, broccoli florets, corn, mayo, Ranch, and seasoning. You could use a bag of broccoli slaw if you want. This broccoli corn slaw recipe is flexible and easy to change based on what you have. You can also add green onions, red onions, tomatoes, kale, carrots, and/or cucumber.
Use fresh, frozen, or canned corn.
Also, try adding sunflower seeds or almonds for crunch.
The key is to add enough mayo so everything ‘sticks’ together, but not so much that it’s dripping in mayo. Ranch seasoning brings it all together.
If you’re bringing it to a cookout, make it a few hours ahead so the flavors have time to blend.
Nutrition
Broccoli Corn Slaw is a light option that’s full of fiber and vitamins. Broccoli brings in vitamins C and K, while corn adds natural sweetness and a bit of potassium. If you use an olive oil mayo, it can be even better for you.

Broccoli Corn Slaw
Items in blue & underlined below can be clicked for more detail or to purchase.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces coleslaw mix shredded cabbage and carrots
- 2 cups corn well drained, fresh, canned, or frozen
- 2 cups broccoli florets Cut florets into bite-sized pieces
- ½ cup green onions sliced
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ tablespoon Ranch seasoning the powder, not dressing
- ½ cup feta optional
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing. Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, Ranch powder, salt, and ground black pepper to a small mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.
- Place the coleslaw, green onions, broccoli, and corn in a large mixing bowl. (A large bowl with a lid would be great because you'll need to cover and refrigerate it.)
- If you're using fresh corn, you'll need to cook it through, then cool it. For frozen corn, prepare it as directed on the package, then allow it to cool. For canned corn, you can drain it and add it directly to the bowl with the other produce ingredients. Regardless of what kind you use, drain it very well. Otherwise, the liquid will dilute your dressing. Add the corn to the bowl with the coleslaw.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables, add the cheese, and toss until thoroughly mixed.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour up to 10 hours before serving.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
