Sauerkraut salad is my recipe of the day. It is an 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!

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

Serving ideas: You will enjoy this with grilled brats and other sausages for the big game. Even with hot dogs.

This also makes a great side for pork chops with mashed potatoes. Or you can also mix this into slaw for a different twist.
