Slice the onion thinly, removing the outer skin but keeping the root intact for stability.

Shred the cabbage using a slicer, being careful not to cut yourself.

Slice the jalapeños, wearing gloves to avoid irritation, and remove seeds if you want less heat.

Boil water and quickly blanch the shredded cabbage in it, ensuring not to overcook it.

In a bowl, combine the blanched cabbage, sliced jalapeños, shredded carrots, and sliced onion.

Add 2 cups of water to the mixture.

Pour in 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1/4 cup of vinegar, preferably apple cider vinegar.

Add enough salt to taste, along with garlic salt and a pinch of oregano.

Mix everything together well, and let it sit to meld the flavors, ideally overnight for better taste.
