  1. You lost me at "canned" sauerkraut.
     
  2. This salad is delicious, but recipe as written has way too much dressing. I doubled the amounts of kraut and vegetables, and left the dressing amounts the same.
     
  3. I make my own sauerkraut and I have been making this for years. The recipe I had used more sugar and oil, so I like yours much better. I also add whatever I have that is fresh in the fridge. Grated carrot, radishes, green onion etc. Great recipe and so versatile!
     
  4. I love sauerkraut and am always looking for a new way to eat it. This has a very nice combination of flavors. Next time I make it, I'll make sure to squeeze out all the extra liquid from the kraut because there was quite a soup at the bottom of the bowl. Thanks for sharing!!
     
  5. I made this for a BBQ party I was hosting and everyone was perplexed yet couldn't stay away. To me it was a bit too sweet, so next time I will only use 1/4 cup sugar, but this comes from a person who doesn't like chocolate...Thank you.

I am a single gal, living on my own; currently working as an Occupational Therapist & living in Cumberland, MD. (It is "God's Country" out here...beautiful!) I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!) I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit. My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
