Potato Carrot Cabbage Jalepeno?

 Can't Post |
 
There was a mexican restaurant where I used to live that had the best salad? marinated veg dish. It contained diced raw potatoes with jalepeno's and cabbage and carrots in a clear broth. They used it as a side dish / garnish. Alas, I have moved to a new city and upon returning to my old digs I found the restaurant had closed.

Would anyone know what such a dish would be called or better yet have a recipe?

TIA
Rob

Sounds like a version of what Mexicans call "fruta en vinagre", or pickled vegetables. In Mexico the vinegars used for the veggies are usually milder than those you would use in the US. Try diluting a fruit vinegar such as cider or pineapple (very authentic) and simmer with your choice of pickling spices. Then add the steamed or blanched veggies and let flavors blend in the refrigerator for several days.
