2 secrets of the perfect sauerkraut salad

To make a sauerkraut salad tasty, you need to know only 2 rules:

• Before adding to the dish, cabbage must be thrown into a colander, rinsed with running cool water and squeezed slightly.
• Salting sauerkraut salad, as a rule, is not required, since the main ingredient - sauerkraut, already saturates it with a piquant taste. However, if the dish turns out to be bland, you can add a little salt.
