Ingredients

• 2 cups Sauerkraut
• 1 medium, finely diced Red bell pepper
• 1 small, finely diced Yellow onion
• 2 small, finely chopped Dill pickles
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Celery seed
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Place the sauerkraut in a fine-mesh strainer and press down gently with the back of a spoon to remove excess liquid. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the finely diced red bell pepper, yellow onion, and chopped dill pickles to the bowl with the sauerkraut. Mix to combine.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seed, black pepper, and olive oil until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the dressing mixture over the sauerkraut mixture and stir thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 5

Taste the relish and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more honey for sweetness or vinegar for extra tanginess.

Step 6

Transfer the sauerkraut relish to a clean jar or airtight container. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a topping for hot dogs, sandwiches, burgers, or as a side dish for grilled meats. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
