Curtido para Pupusas

Curtido is a traditional Salvadoran pickled cabbage slaw, often served alongside pupusas, a staple dish in El Salvador. This tangy and crunchy condiment enhances the rich flavors of the pupusas, making each bite more vibrant. While it has deep roots in Salvadoran cuisine, variations of curtido can be found in Central America, showcasing local ingredients and preferences.
