Crunchy, fresh, and tart, this Salvadoran slaw is a delicious accompaniment to all kinds of entrees and almost always accompanies pupusas (stuffed corn cakes). Traditional versions of the slaw get their tang from fermentation: Cabbage, carrots, onion, jalapeño, and oregano are salted, packed in jars, and allowed to stand for at least 1 day or up to several days (a process similar to making sauerkraut or kimchi). Our shortcut version achieves the same flavor by adding vinegar and marinating for just 1 hour.
