Ingredients
- 16 oz (drained) Sauerkraut
- 1 medium (diced) Red bell pepper
- 1 medium (diced) Green bell pepper
- 2 medium (grated) Carrot
- 2 stalks (diced) Celery stalks
- 1 medium (finely diced) Onion
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup White vinegar
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Drain the sauerkraut thoroughly, squeezing out any excess liquid using your hands or a clean kitchen towel. Place the drained sauerkraut in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, grated carrots, diced celery, and finely diced onion to the bowl with the sauerkraut. Mix gently to combine.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, white vinegar, and vegetable oil. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the sauerkraut and vegetable mixture. Add the black pepper and salt (if using). Toss everything together until well coated.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Before serving, give the salad a good stir. Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches and burgers.
