Gluten Free Surówka

Surówka is a Polish sauerkraut, carrot and apple salad that’s healthy and delicious. Enjoy! 

Our friends from Poland shared their Surówka recipe with us. Pronounced suˈrufka, it’s a sauerkraut, carrot, apple and onion salad.

Especially, they said, that it’s delicious with fish.

However, I was planning to serve pork tenderloin tonight and just couldn’t wait to try it. And boy, it’s yummy. I had to share it with you.

This is a raw salad so there’s no cooking involved. Let me show you how to make it.

Ingredients

• sauerkraut
• a carrot 
• an apple 
• half of an onion 
• parsley
• extra-virgin olive oil
• Stevia
• salt and pepper

It’s easy!

Pro tips and recipe notes

• If you do serve your surówka with fish, our friends said to add the juice of two fresh lemons.
• Also, I substituted their recommended tablespoon of sugar with Stevia.
• Fermented sauerkraut is so healthy. And it’s easy to make your own. For store bought, I recommend Bubbies Of San Francisco Sauerkraut. It has live cultures, and no sugar, vinegar or preservatives. Just great taste.
• I had delicious apples on hand when I made this recipe. A tart Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Macintosh apple would stand up well to the flavor of the sauerkraut.
• Leftovers will keep in an air tight container in the fridge for a week.

Tasty surówka is an easy, healthy, raw side dish that’s delicious with dinner. But I also can picture serving it at a summer party picnic or barbecue.
