For a milder flavor, rinse the sauerkraut before draining. Feel free to add other vegetables such as red bell pepper or chopped cucumber for added crunch and color. This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. The flavors will continue to develop over time. Consider using brown sugar for a richer, more complex sweetness. If you don't have cider vinegar, white vinegar can be substituted, but it will have a slightly sharper taste.
