Since March 16th our country has been in lockdown due to Covid-19, so we decided to upload our quarantine recipes to help inspire and give fresh ideas to our followers. We are going to be cooking a lot more at home, and ideas will run out fast. We are here to help! We have been sharing our recipes on Instagram Stories (then saved on highlights per recipe) and now we are posting them here so you can easily find them.

We usually keep cabbage slaw in our refrigerator, making it either with red or green cabbage. Green cabbage slaw like you will find in this recipe is used in Salvadoran recipes as an accompaniment for pupusas. We love adding it to sandwiches, especially hot dogs and it is also great as a side dish with grilled beef or bread crumb crusted chicken. You need to let the vegetables sit in the vinegar mixture for at least one hour, if you prepare it ahead of time and let it sit overnight, even better!
