Step 1:

How do you make a salad of sauerkraut, onion, and vegetable oil? Gather all the listed ingredients. Which oil is best to use? Olive, vegetable, flaxseed, or unrefined oil is perfect for the recipe.
Step 2:

Peel the onion, rinse it, and pat it dry with paper towels. Red onion, white onion, shallot, or regular onion is ideal for the salad. These have a milder flavor and are perfect for salads. Cut the onion into thin half rings, quarter rings, slivers, or small cubes, whichever you prefer.
Step 3:

If your sauerkraut is too sour, rinse it in cold water and squeeze it out (I usually don't). Put the sauerkraut and finely chopped onion in a deep bowl.
Step 4:

Rinse the herbs, pat them dry with paper towels to remove the excess moisture, and chop them finely. Which herbs are best? Dill, green onion, or parsley is ideal for the salad. You can also use several kinds of herbs at once.
Step 5:

Drizzle the oil over the top and mix everything thoroughly. Let the salad rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, mix again, and sprinkle with chopped herbs.

Sauerkraut is rich in vitamin C. It boosts immunity, kick-starts the body's metabolism, strengthens the heart muscle, and lowers cholesterol. Cabbage is prized for being affordable and high in nutrients and vitamins. It's a real must for people with a slow metabolism. Cabbage suppresses harmful bacteria in the gut and flushes toxins from the body. If you can, include sauerkraut dishes in your diet, especially in fall and winter. There are also contraindications: people with high stomach acid, gastritis, or ulcers are better off leaving sauerkraut out of their diet. Enjoy!
To keep your eyes from stinging when you cut onions, rinse the onion and the knife with cold water. The cutting board won't soak up the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before cutting.
