Jul 12, 2024 01:56 AM
Homemade sauerkraut is a classic Ukrainian tradition and it’s way easier than you might think! Did you know you could make a fantastic salad with it? It’s strangely delicious.
If you’ve tried a Slavic Kvashenaya Kapusta or Kysla Kapusta , you already know that there is nothing like a homemade sauerkraut. You can use it in anything that you’d put sauerkraut in (this is sauerkraut after all). Try it in the braised cabbage with beef … yum! I have two salad ideas detailed here, just for you. Because I like ya!
