cold sauerkraut salad
I love to make my own fermented vegetables and I'm especially partial to Sauerkraut as it is so easy to make. I wanted to try using a batch of fresh Sauerkraut I had just made, in a salad, and came up with this recipe. This cold salad is bursting with flavor and is a great side especially with grilled meats. I love the crunch and the freshness of the green onions and the pop of the capers. You can use green pepper in place of the jalapeno if you don't do spicy. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
