Curtido (what you put on top of Pupusas)

CURTIDO (SPICY CABBAGE SALAD)

1 med. green cabbage, shredded
1 lg. carrot, shredded
3/4 c. apple cider vinegar
1 c. water
1 tbsp. salt
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. crushed red chili flakes

Mix together vinegar, water, salt, oregano and chili. Put cabbage and carrot in a large bowl. Pour vinegar mixture over cabbage mixture. Toss to completely cover cabbage mixture with vinegar mixture. Cover, chill, preferably overnight to blend flavors. Serve over pupusas or as a side dish.

**I usually just use the coleslaw mix that is pre shredded and it works just fine. Be sure to chill well before serving so the flavor blends. Also, I tend to add a little more oregano to jazz it up a bit.
