Make this sauerkraut salad as one of many delicious German side dishes. This is great for a buffet, picnic, or an Oktoberfest-style party. It's absolutely as wunderbar! And guess what? Even your vegan friends will love you for it!
Sauerkraut is considered to be one of those foods that boosts the immune system. Eaten raw, as in this salad, is a great addition to almost any diet.
Oma's Sauerkraut Salad

One of the most delicious of German sauerkraut recipes is the above salad. With peppers, celery, carrots, and onions, it's one of my favorites.
German salads range from the vinegary ones to the creamy ones. This one is vinegary offset with a touch of sweetness. Traditionally, green peppers are used. Sometimes I use red peppers for that extra touch of color.
As with most salads, quantities are just approximate. Add extra or less of what you like.
I have to admit that this recipe is one I didn't learn from my Mutti. At home, we only ate sauerkraut that was cooked. And, I really love it that way.
Using it in a salad is new to me. But, it's so good this way. And, I love the fact that it's so healthy when eaten raw.
Sauerkraut is so full of vitamins and minerals as well as phytochemicals that are formed during the fermentation process.
This lovely fermented cabbage is also considered on food that helps fight weight gain, so it fits great in a diet regime.

Quick Fix Soups has to be one of the best soup books I have ever seen, the way it is presented, the book cover, colorful and inviting.
Your Table of Contents says it all: quick and accessible.
I love the introductory story filled with interesting nostalgia, along with pictures of your granddaughters.
The recipes are presented with step-by-step procedures.
‘Oma says’ are full of hints, and ‘a bit of this and a bit of that’ are rewarding suggestions.
Excellent cook book. I can hardly wait to get started cooking soups.
We love eating soup.
And, what I like about these recipes, is that I don’t have to be all day cooking in the kitchen.
'Quick Fix Soups’ is for me!”

This comprehensive cookbook brings back so many treasured food memories from my childhood. My German “Mutti” and her mom, my Oma, both long gone, were such great cooks, but their recipes were never written down.
Gerhild Fulson’s expansive recipe collection will help people of my generation with their “lost” recipes and it will introduce new generations to German specialties that are both delicious and a part of Germany’s rich culinary culture.
