It warms my heart when it is the middle of winter and bags of colorful oranges – shipped from California – start appearing on grocery store shelves. Here on Vancouver Island, British Columbia when winter days can be long, dark and damp, there is nothing like a burst of sweetness from one of those oranges in a sauerkraut salad to brighten your day.

Here’s a sauerkraut salad recipe I came up with to take advantage of those oranges and use one of my favorite sauerkraut recipes: Passion Pink Sauerkraut.

If you don’t have a jar of Passion Pink Sauerkraut already fermented, here’s the recipe for that.

A few simple ingredients – orange, feta cheese, mint, honey – and you’re ready!

The worst part of putting together this salad? Peeling the orange but LifeHack makes that look so easy. Video below.

Sauerkraut Salad Notes and Tips to Get You Started

Benefits of Beets

Benefits of beets. | makesauerkraut. com

“Beets are so concentrated, nutritionally speaking, that many natural vitamins are derived from them. Dr. Bruce West recommends eating a few spoonfuls of beets per day as a sure method of ingesting adequate vitamins and minerals on a regular basis and as a way of detoxifying the body as well. They contain special properties that protect the liver and stimulate the flow of bile. Beets and beet juice have a been used successfully in cancer therapists.” – Sally Fallon Morell in Nourishing Traditions. 

A daily serving of Passion Pink Sauerkraut is just one way that I build my nutritional stores through the food I eat. Steamed beets along with beet juice also help. I recently discovered Salus Red Beet Crystals that I now add to my daily glass of Fermented Coconut Water for a quick and flavorful way to drink beet juice.

How to Easily Peel an Orange

Thanks to YouTube and a few trial runs, I discovered that peeling an orange does not have to be a long involved sticky mess.

No more pithy peel stuck under your fingernails.

Flesh that comes off in one satisfying strip.

No juice squirting all over your clean shirt.

At least that’s the theory. The biggest tip? Use fresh oranges whose peel has not yet lost its moisture and tightly adhering to the orange.
