Instructions

  • Shred the cabbage, place it in a large bowl and press it down with your hands to soften it a bit and release some of the juices.
    Sliced up cabbage in a bowl.
  • Shred carrots. Slice the onion and jalapeños. Add the carrots, onion, jalapeños, oregano, vinegar, and a good pinch of salt (adjust to your taste).
    All the veggies sliced up in a bowl.
  • Toss everything together until it is well combined.
    Seasoned veggies in a bowl.
  • Transfer the mixture to a jar and let it sit in the fridge for at least two hours — but it tastes even better when marinated overnight. Enjoy!
