Ingredients

Curtido is a vinegared cabbage slaw that is always served with pupusas. You’ll need to make the curtido at least one day ahead of time, so plan ahead. It can last for a month in the refrigerator.

 

4 cups thinly sliced green cabbage

1 cup shredded carrot

½ cup thinly sliced onion

¾ cup apple cider vinegar

½ cup water

1 tsp. Mexican oregano

½ jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

2 tsp. kosher salt

1 tsp. sugar

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mix well, and squeeze with your hands to start to break down the cabbage. Put the cabbage in a jar and press it down so that the liquid comes to the top. It will be ready to use the next day.
