User Comments:
- "This curtido is a delicious and refreshing side dish. The acidity from the vinegar and lime juice is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the carrots and the earthy flavor of the oregano. I love it on tacos, pupusas, and even as a salad on its own."
- "I made this for a potluck and it was a huge hit. Everyone raved about how flavorful and light it was. It's a great way to add some brightness and acidity to a meal."
- "I've never had curtido before, but this recipe was easy to follow and turned out amazing. It's a great addition to my healthy eating repertoire."
Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- If you can't find apple cider vinegar, you can use white vinegar or rice vinegar.
- Adjust the amount of salt and lime juice to your taste.
- Let the curtido marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
