This condiment is full of bright flavors including dried oregano. Traditionally this relish is served on top of pupusas. It is also pairs well with tacos and grilled meats. **servings vary** 5 cups thinly sliced green cabbage 1/2 cup grated carrots 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions 1 jalapeno seeded and diced 3 teaspoons kosher salt 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup water 1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano 1 teaspoon sugar In a large bowl, toss the cabbage and salt to thoroughly coat. Set aside for one hour. Remove the cabbage from the bowl and rinse. Place the cabbage back into the bowl and top with the carrots, red onions and jalapenos. Stir to combine. In a small bowl add the vinegar, water, sugar and oregano. Stir well.  Cover the vegetables with the vinegar mixture and stir to combine. Place a plate on top of the cabbage and press down, causing the vegetables to release their juices and to submerge the vegetables in the vinegar.  Cover and place the mixture into the fridge or sit on countertop for at least 4 hours, or preferable, 24 hours, before serving. Use to top pupusas, tacos or grilled meats and fish. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Topics: [A Pleasant Little Kitchen](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/a-pleasant-little-kitchen) ### Recent Posts ### Main Categories - [A Pleasant Little Kitchen (119)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/a-pleasant-little-kitchen) - [Happy and Nourished (98)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/happy-and-nourished) - [Eat Well Live Well (30)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/eat-well-live-well) - [Chef's Counter (13)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/chefs-counter) - [Day of the Dead, Día de los Muertos (10)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/day-of-the-dead-día-de-los-muertos) - [Easter (6)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/easter) - [Mothers Day (5)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/mothers-day) - [Hatch Chile Season (4)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/hatch-chile-season) - [Hispanic Heritage Month (4)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/hispanic-heritage-month) - [Valentine's Day (3)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/valentines-day) - [Back To School (2)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/back-to-school) - [Cinco De Mayo (2)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/cinco-de-mayo) [See all](https://blog.amigosunited.com/curtido-1-0#) ![Amigos Logo](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/AmigosIcon.png) ### Company Information - [About The United Family](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/) - [Careers](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/careers/) - [Commitment to Community](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/donations/) - [Sustainability Promise](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/sustainability/%20target=) - [United Supermarkets](https://www.unitedsupermarkets.com/) - [Market Street](https://www.marketstreetunited.com/) - [Albertsons Market](https://www.albertsonsmarket.com) ### Guest Services - [Shop Online](http://www.amigosunited.com/rs/shoponline/) - [Order Gift Cards](https://www.amigosunited.com/rs/giftcards) - [Order Flowers](https://www.marketstreetflowers.com/) - [Take Our Survey](https://www.amigosunited.com/survey) - [Refill/Transfer Prescriptions](https://ecom.nhin.com/nhin/servlet/EpsEntry?CHAIN_ID=UNITED&STORE_ID=ALL&INIT=YES) - [Contact Us](https://www.amigosunited.com/page/contact) ### Resources - [Nutritional Info](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/nutrition/) - [Online Shopping FAQs](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/contact-us/faqs) - [Email Online Shopping Support](https://www.safeway.com/contactus/contact-us-form/groceryDelivery/?bannerId=unitedsupermarkets) - [Rewards Program](https://www.amigosunited.com/page/savings/rewards) - [Email Rewards Support](https://www.safeway.com/contactus/contact-us-form/commentsAndQuestions/accountUpdate?bannerId=unitedsupermarkets) - [Product Recalls](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/recalls/) - [Coupon Policy](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/coupon-policy/) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/privacy-policy/) - [Terms & Conditions](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/terms-conditions/) [![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/Insta.png)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/curtido-1-0#) [![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/Facebook.png)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/curtido-1-0#) [![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/Twitter.png)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/curtido-1-0#) [![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/Pinterest.png)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/curtido-1-0#) Download Our Rewards App ![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Market%20Street%20Blog%202019/GooglePlay.png) ![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Market%20Street%20Blog%202019/AppStore.png)
