Begin by gathering all your ingredients for this vibrant salad. Wash and peel the carrot and apple, then proceed to shred them into fine pieces for added texture. Chop a small onion and your choice of fresh herbs, such as dill and/or parsley.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained sauerkraut with the shredded carrot, apple, finely chopped onion, and freshly chopped herbs. This colorful medley creates a perfect foundation for a deliciously balanced salad!

Instead of a traditional dressing, keep it simple and light! Sprinkle a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the veggie mix. Drizzle a good-quality olive oil over everything—this will enhance the richness without overpowering the natural flavors.

Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is well combined and evenly coated with the olive oil and seasonings. Be sure to taste the salad; you can easily adjust the salt and pepper to your liking. This easy method allows all the ingredients to shine through while keeping things quick and simple!

This delightful salad can be enjoyed in various ways! You can savor it on its own as a refreshing and light lunch or a healthy snack any time of day. I especially love serving it alongside crispy fried fish and golden potatoes—they complement each other perfectly! The tangy crunch of the salad adds a vibrant contrast to the rich flavors of the fish, creating a balanced and satisfying meal. Enjoy every bite!
