Sauerkraut Salad

Got this from a lady at church who says she got it from a German cookbook. I must admit that when I first heard about it I had my doubts, but that has changed.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  lb sauerkraut
• 2  apples, peeled, cored and diced
• 1⁄2 cup  mixed pickle, diced (use the jar type)
• 1  onion, finely diced (I prefer red onions)
• 2  tablespoons dill, chopped
• 2  tablespoons parsley, chopped
•  salt and pepper
• 2  tablespoons sugar
• 2  slices bacon, diced

Directions

1. In a salad bowl, combine all the ingredients except the bacon. Taste before you add salt. Fry the bacon until crisp and then add it AND the melted fat to the salad. Toss to blend. Chill and serve cold.
