Prepare the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice & zest, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Toss the slaw: In a large mixing bowl, combine green and red cabbage, corn, jalapeños, green onions, and feta cheese.
Dress and chill: Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
