Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sauerkraut
- 50 grams Raw shelled pistachios
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic (finely minced)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- to taste Salt
Instructions
1. Start by draining the sauerkraut in a colander to remove excess brine. If desired, rinse it lightly with water for a milder flavor and squeeze out the excess moisture. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
2. Wash the cucumber thoroughly, then slice it into thin rounds. If the cucumber has tough skin, consider peeling it beforehand. Add the slices to the bowl with the sauerkraut.
3. Roughly chop the raw shelled pistachios to create a mix of larger and smaller pieces for added texture. Add these to the bowl.
4. Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad for a burst of freshness and color.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, finely minced garlic, ground black pepper, and a small pinch of salt if needed.
6. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss all the ingredients until well combined.
7. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if required.
8. Allow the salad to sit for about 5-10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
9. Serve the Pistachio Sauerkraut Salad chilled as a light main or as a vibrant side dish. Enjoy!
