Transfer the sliced cabbage and onion into a large mixing bowl.

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.
Близько 5 хв
Примітка кухаря: This crucial step tenderizes the cabbage, making it more palatable and allowing it to better absorb the vinaigrette. Don't skip it!

In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, sunflower oil, Dijon mustard, sugar, and black pepper until well combined.
Близько 2 хв

Близько 1 год
Примітка кухаря: 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.

Правильне зберігання
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.
