This zesty sauerkraut salad is a refreshing new way to enjoy sauerkraut! Crispy carrots, mini peppers, and a sweet and tangy dressing.
Sauerkraut Salad
Who knew you could make a salad with sauerkraut? This salad so surprisingly delicious!
You’ll be shocked at how good it all tastes together. The flavors just work really well together.
The tangy cabbage works really well with the fresh carrots, onion, and peppers. Then, it’s all topped with an apple cider dressing that enhances the tangy flavors in the sauerkraut.
All together, this is an unforgettable salad! In fact, you can add it to your weekly meal prep and enjoy it all week long.
Sauerkraut Salad With Veggies
What are the best types of vegetables to add to a sauerkraut-based salad? You’ll want to add crispy veggies that are easy to slice into thin pieces and that have a mild and almost sweet flavor.
I used matchstick carrots and thinly-sliced mini peppers. This recipe makes six servings and each serving has just 5 grams net carbs.
If you change the vegetables, you’ll alter how many carbs each serving has.
Keto Salad Dressing
What salad dressing tastes good with the vinegar-based flavors in sauerkraut? You’ll want to make something with sugar-free honey so that it rounds out all the tangy flavors.
My apple cider vinaigrette has sugar-free honey for the sweet notes and ground mustard to give it a bit of an earthy bite. Use this combination for other salads you make, too!
In fact, you can make a double portion of the salad dressing and keep it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about a week.
Drizzle it on top of chopped cucumbers and tomatoes or a lettuce-based salad.
What To Eat With Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut salad is a loud salad with bold flavors and bright colors. And it’s just as healthy as it is colorful.
There isn’t any meat in this salad, so you’ll want to serve it with a high-protein entree. I suggest serving it with some ham and cheese jalapeno roll-ups.
They are low-carb and as spicy as you want them to be. If you’re going to serve the salad for dinner, make keto creamy Italian smoked sausage skillet with it.
The creamy sauce tastes delicious with the sauerkraut. And keto honey garlic chicken tastes good with anything – especially this salad.
How To Store Sauerkraut Salad
This is the perfect salad to add to your weekly meal prep! Store leftover sauerkraut salad in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to for days. It tastes better fresh because the vegetables will stay crispy.
Do not try to freeze this salad. When you thaw it, the texture and flavors won’t be the same. It’s best to eat it fresh.
