Colorful Sauerkraut Salad

Don’t like sauerkraut? Neither do I, but when I reluctantly tried this Sauerkraut Salad, I couldn’t believe how good it tasted! So, don’t dismiss this recipe because of the main ingredient. It is colorful and delicious! It makes a great salad to take to a picnic gathering as there is no mayo in it. Use it on sandwiches, too.

Make this salad at least two days ahead so the flavors come together. Keep covered in the refrigerator. You’ll be surprised at how delicious it is. As I said, I don’t like sauerkraut, but I do like this salad. You’ll have to give it a try.

1 cup finely cut green onions

1/2 cup vinegar

1/2 cup – 2/3 cup sugar or more if you like it sweeter

1/2 cup vegetable oil

Heat oil, sugar and vinegar until sugar dissolves and pour over salad.
