Recipe--Sauerkraut Salad

[Guest guest]

Hi all! All the wonderful recipes posted about cabbage inspired me to

look up my sauerkraut salad recipe. I usually make this for potlucks and

it is well received, even by those who don't like sauerkraut. It's kind

of like a condiment in a way. The ingredients (esp amount of sugar and

oil) can be tweaked to make it healthier, but this is how I make it to

take to a group. Paula

 

 

Sauerkraut Salad

 

1 large (32 oz) jar sauerkraut, drained

1 onion, chopped

l green bell pepper, chopped

2 Tbsp. pimento, chopped (I use more than this)

1 or 2 grated carrots

1 cup celery, chopped

 

3/4 cup, (or up to 1 cup), canola oil

3/4 cup, (or up to 1 cup), white vinegar

1 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

 

Mix the drained sauerkraut and the rest of the vegetables in a large

bowl. Mix the salt, sugar, vinegar, and oil in large microwave safe

measuring cup, and heat just long enough to get the mix hot, then stir to

dissolve the sugar. Pour this immediately over the sauerkraut mixture

and stir. Put in a covered container and refrigerate overnight. This

keeps very well and seems to get better over time.
