Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sauerkraut
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 small Red bell pepper
- 1 small Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Drain the sauerkraut thoroughly and place it in a large mixing bowl. If the sauerkraut strands are overly long, chop them into shorter pieces for easier eating.
Peel and grate the carrot using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the sauerkraut.
Finely dice the red bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion, and add them to the bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the vegetables in the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the sauerkraut and vegetables, and toss everything together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add a pinch of salt, a dash of vinegar, or a drizzle of honey according to your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or light meal. Enjoy!
