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.

HOMEMADE SAUERKRAUT

This is a comfort food that reminds me of visiting my grandparents. They always had kielbasa and sauerkraut among the holiday feasts. Kielbasa tastes best when it is sliced thickly and placed on the bottom of the pot before you begin cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the traditional choice for sauerkraut slaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give the slaw a more vibrant color.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage. This will give you even, thin slices.
  • Rinse the sauerkraut well before using it. This will help to remove any excess salt.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your slaw. Common additions include carrots, celery, onion, and bell pepper. You can also add fruits, such as apples or raisins.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Taste the slaw before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.
