Valmistusohje
Vaihe vaiheelta
- 1
Thinly slice the green cabbage and white onion using a mandoline or a very sharp chef's knife.
Noin 5 min
Kokin vinkki: Achieving very thin slices is key for the best texture in Krautsalat. A mandoline ensures uniform thickness and significantly speeds up this process.
- 2
Transfer the sliced cabbage and onion into a large mixing bowl.
- 3
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the cabbage and onion.
- 4
Massage the salt into the vegetables with your hands for 3-5 minutes until the cabbage begins to soften and release its natural liquids.
Noin 5 min
Kokin vinkki: This crucial step tenderizes the cabbage, making it more palatable and allowing it to better absorb the vinaigrette. Don't skip it!
- 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, sunflower oil, Dijon mustard, sugar, and black pepper until well combined.
Noin 2 min
Kokin vinkki: Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved in the dressing for a smooth, balanced flavor profile.
- 6
Stir the caraway seeds into the prepared dressing.
Kokin vinkki: Caraway seeds are traditional in German cabbage salads, adding a distinctive aromatic and slightly peppery note. Adjust the amount to your preference.
- 7
Pour the vinaigrette over the cabbage and onion mixture in the large bowl.
- 8
Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed and coats all the vegetables.
Noin 2 min
Kokin vinkki: Use tongs or clean hands to mix the salad well, ensuring every strand of cabbage is glistening with dressing.
- 9
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the Krautsalat for at least 1 hour.
Noin 1 t
Kokin vinkki: Allowing the salad to rest is essential for the flavors to meld and for the cabbage to further tenderize. For the best taste, prepare it several hours or even a day in advance.
- 10
Before serving, give the salad a final toss and taste, adjusting seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Kokin vinkki: The flavors will intensify as it rests, so a final taste test ensures perfect balance.

Krautsalat is a fantastic accompaniment to grilled meats like bratwurst or schnitzel, and it also pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken or pork. For a heartier version, consider adding thinly sliced apples or a sprinkle of toasted sunflower seeds. A light German lager or a crisp dry Riesling would be an excellent beverage pairing.
Store leftover Krautsalat in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
This salad is best served chilled and does not require reheating.
