  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped red cabbage with the fresh corn kernels.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour the creamy dressing over the corn and cabbage mixture, gently fold all ingredients together.
  6. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped cilantro over the top and stir again to combine.
  7. Serve your vibrant Mexican Street Corn Coleslaw immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
