Curtido

An El Salvadoran classic often paired with pupusas, this is one of Jenni’s favorite slaw/relish recipes summer or winter. Not only delicious with hearty pupusas, it’s also a great addition to any plate, tucked into sandwiches or wraps, or even alone as a refreshing snack. Don’t skimp on the oregano!
