As a child, one of my absolute favorite salads was sauerkraut salad. It’s a simple yet delicious dish that brings back fond memories of family gatherings and picnics. The best part is, it’s incredibly easy to make! Whether you prefer using a food processor or a grater, this recipe is sure to satisfy your taste buds.

To make sauerkraut salad, you’ll need:

  • Sauerkraut – Strain all the liquid out of your sauerkraut. This liquid is potent with live cultures. I like to save it to apply as the acid component in vinaigrette, I also drink it too and even add it to my smoothies!
  • Carrots
  • Tart apples – I love using tart apple for this recipe however, you can use any apple you have at home.
  • Onion – Yellow or red onion would work fine with this recipe. If you like to add extra color to the recipe, use red onion 🙂
  • Garlic
  • Parsley Root
  • Celery root – Celery root has a strong smell and taste. I would suggest to use 1/5 of cup and see if you like it. You can always add more.
  • Fresh Parsley – I love to add parsley to this recipe however, fresh dill would taste great as well.
  • Extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil – I like to use high quality oils to all my recipes but if you’re on budget, you can use any oil you have at home.
  • Sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

This sauerkraut salad makes a wonderful side dish for a variety of meals. Here are a few serving suggestions to inspire you:

  •     Pair it with grilled vegan sausages or bratwurst for a classic German-inspired meal.
  •     Serve it alongside a hearty sandwich or burger for a delicious and tangy contrast.
  •     Enjoy it as a topping for vegan hot dogs or vegan sausages for a flavorful twist on a classic favorite.
  •     Include it in a salad bar spread for your next gathering or potluck.
