Sauerkraut Salad: A Family Tradition with Bold Flavors

This Sauerkraut Salad is a family favorite passed down from Great-Grandma Maida Dixon, offering a tangy, sweet, and crunchy combination of sauerkraut, vegetables, and a flavorful sugar-vinegar dressing. It needs to sit in the refrigerator for a couple of days to allow the flavors to meld, making it the perfect dish to prepare ahead of time for family gatherings, potlucks, or picnics.
