Sauerkraut Salad...who knew?

 

We have a party for a friend on Friday and the theme is German food.  Brenda is making her German Chocolate cake and we are bringing a blast from our Amana past...Sauerkraut salad.

Now if you have ever eaten family style in the Amana Colonies, they bring out a ton of food. The first course is usually this Kraut Salad, cottage cheese and pickled ham. It brings back so many fond memories of eating there while we worked the shop when the kids were little.

Sauerkraut Salad

1 Quart of Sauerkraut, drained
1 cup sugar (I used less)
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 Red bell pepper diced
1/2 c Salad oil (I used less)

Mix all together and let sit overnight in the fridge. I promise you will love this even if you don't care for kraut.
