Curtido

Cultural Context

Curtido is a traditional Salvadoran condiment, often served alongside pupusas. This tangy slaw adds a refreshing crunch and balances the richness of the dishes it accompanies. In recent years, curtido has gained popularity beyond El Salvador, becoming a beloved topping for various Latin American meals.
