Sauerkraut Salad

As awful as this sounds, this salad is amazingly delicious. But if you make a mistake and use regular sauerkraut instead of Bavarian sauerkraut then it will definitely be even worse than it sounds.

My daughter took this salad to a New Year's Eve party in Pittsburgh and everyone laughed until they tasted it on a dare. At the end of the evening the maid and one of the guests engaged in a tug of war in the kitchen over the left over salad. The maid won.

Sauerkraut Salad
2 cans Snowfloss brand Bavarian Style Sauerkraut
1 chopped onion
1 chopped red or green (mix both colors for Christmas)
1C chopped celery or 1T celery seed
1C sugar
1/3C vinegar
1/3C water
1/2C salad oil

Toss and marinate overnight in refrigerator. Some like to drain before serving. Will keep several weeks.
