SAUERKRAUT SALAD
Great-Grandma Maida Dixon made this salad for family gatherings. I think of her every time I make. It's sooo good. It needs to be placed in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld. It really is worth the wait.

BAVARIAN SAUERKRAUT
This recipe has to be the best tasting sauerkraut I've ever had. Traditionally, my family serves pork and sauerkraut every New Year's Day for luck in the coming year. I love cabbage as a general rule and like most sauerkraut recipes, but they can be quite sour depending on how it is prepared. Sadly I don't remember who gave me this recipe and who deserves the credit, since it was pulled from a collection of hand-written recipes I've kept for years. I made it as a side dish for New Year's Day dinner and it was a complete hit! This is certainly not your typical 'sour' sauerkraut recipe.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing more evenly.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor to shred the cabbage. Just be careful not to over-process it, or you'll end up with mushy cabbage.
- Use a good quality vinegar for the dressing. A cheap vinegar can make your salad taste harsh.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of vinegar. White vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and rice vinegar are all good options.
- Add some caraway seeds to the dressing for a traditional German flavor.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Conclusion:
Bavarian kraut salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this recipe a try.
