- 1 quart sauerkraut (4 cups, drained)
- ¼ cup sauerkraut liquid
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup canola oil
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 2 ribs celery diced
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 large carrot grated
- 4 ounces diced pimento peppers drained
- 1 teaspoon mustard seed
In a small saucepan, prepare the dressing by bringing the sugar, oil, sauerkraut liquid, and apple cider vinegar to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, add the raw sauerkraut, diced onion, celery, bell pepper, carrot, pimento, and mustard seed. Stir well to combine.
Pour the dressing into the bowl, then toss everything together.
The salad can be enjoyed immediately, but it is best to refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the flavors to meld.
