Old-Fashioned Sauerkraut Salad adds a twist to an old-school recipe for a refreshing and delicious way to enjoy sauerkraut.

Old-Fashioned Sauerkraut Salad

by Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

Old-fashioned but delicious way to have sauerkraut, especially in warm weather. A recipe your Grandmother may have made, but she never used bacon, did she? Bacon is good in everything, trust me. Haha!

If you don’t want to use Splenda or have it turn you into a zombie, then don’t. You won’t hurt my feelings. But the sugar amount might not quite be the same, depending on how you view that. Some think Splenda is much sweeter. Use your own judgement there.

I do confess to using a food processor to grate the carrot and pulse the kraut into a chop, but I can be lazy that way. And who says that’s a bad thing? Leaves me more energy to create dessert.
