Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ small white cabbage, finely shredded
2 carrots, grated
1 red onion, halved and finely sliced
3 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tsp caster sugar
4 corn cobs
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard

Steps:

  • Tip the cabbage, carrots and onion into a bowl. Season with salt, then add the vinegar and sugar, and toss to combine. Leave for 20 mins for the vegetables to very lightly pickle.
  • Meanwhile, cook the corn on a hot barbecue or griddle pan for 4-5 mins on both sides until the kernels have darkened and charred slightly. Set aside to cool. Once cool, hold the cobs upright on a board and strip off the kernels in long downward strips using a sharp knife.
  • Stir the mustard and half the corn into the salad and taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Serve topped with the remaining corn.
