Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sauerkraut
- 1 medium, finely diced Red bell pepper
- 1 small, finely diced Yellow onion
- 2 small, finely chopped Dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Place the sauerkraut in a fine-mesh strainer and press down gently with the back of a spoon to remove excess liquid. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Add the finely diced red bell pepper, yellow onion, and chopped dill pickles to the bowl with the sauerkraut. Mix to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seed, black pepper, and olive oil until well combined.
Pour the dressing mixture over the sauerkraut mixture and stir thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
Taste the relish and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more honey for sweetness or vinegar for extra tanginess.
Transfer the sauerkraut relish to a clean jar or airtight container. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a topping for hot dogs, sandwiches, burgers, or as a side dish for grilled meats. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
