Notes
Use a strainer to rinse sauerkraut and then use hands to squeeze excess moisture off of sauerkraut. This allows the salad dressing flavors to better soak in.
Green bell pepper can be substituted for red, orange or yellow bell pepper which will also make the salad more colorful and a bit sweeter.
Your favorite flavor of onion may be used in this salad.
Feel free to add in carrots, apples, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers or the veggie of your choice.
