Description

Great-Grandma Maida Dixon made this salad for family gatherings. I think of her every time I make. It's sooo good. It needs to be placed in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld. It really is worth the wait.

Ingredients

1 quart sauerkraut, drained
1 onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 large carrots, chopped
1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimento peppers, drained
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup cider vinegar
