Ingredients
- 4 red potatoes, peeled (about 1 pound)
- 2 beets
- 2 medium sized carrots, peeled
- 2 small cucumbers, diced into ¼-inch pieces
- 1 green apple, cored and diced into ¼-inch pieces
- ½ cup sauerkraut
- 4 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
Preparation
Step 1
Boil the potatoes, beets, and carrots separately in salted water until fork tender. The potatoes and beets will cook for about 35-45 minutes and the carrots will cook in about 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel the beets, and dice the vegetables into ¼ inch pieces.
Step 2
Place the potatoes, beets, carrots, cucumbers, apple, and sauerkraut into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the sunflower oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and sugar in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently stir the salad until evenly coated.
Step 5
Serve at room temperature.
