Sauerkraut Salad

Surówka z Kapusty Kiszonej

Looking for a quick and refreshing side dish full of probiotics and flavor? In Poland, Sauerkraut Salad (surówka z kapusty kiszonej) is a classic addition to everyday dinners. It’s crunchy, tangy, and so simple to prepare.

Sauerkraut Salad is a great immune support during autumn and winter, is a source of vitamins and probiotics. It makes good job for your intestines and your skin condition. You can eat it when you are on diet or just want to stay healthy.

Remember to buy sauerkraut from trusted seller, as it can be cheated and added vinegar instead of traditional longer procedure of fermentation.

I usually start by squeezing out the excess brine from sauerkraut. Then I taste it – if it’s too sour, I give it a quick rinse, but honestly, I prefer it without rinsing. If you’re lucky enough to have young sauerkraut, it’s naturally fresh, mild, and crunchy – no rinsing needed at all.

3. Season with sugar, a little salt (if needed), and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Drizzle with oil and mix everything well.
