This is my Minnesota version of a vintage German slaw that’s popular at church suppers. The wild rice has a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with tangy sauerkraut. —Jeanne Holt, St. Paul, Minnesota

wild rice

apple,

celery

carrot (about 1 large carrot)

red onion

DRESSING:

sugar

cider vinegar

canola oil

salt

pepper

parsley

tarragon tarragon

walnuts,

Cook wild rice according to package directions. Cool completely.

In a large bowl, combine sauerkraut, apple, celery, carrot, onion and cooled rice. In a small bowl, whisk the first 5 dressing ingredients until sugar is dissolved; stir in herbs. Add to sauerkraut mixture; toss to combine.

Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours to allow flavors to blend. Stir in walnuts just before serving.

<p>As soon as I saw this recipe I decided to make it for Thanksgiving. Always try a new dish for my vegan son and this fit the bill. It was absolutely delicious! Only changes I made were 1/2 T sugar instead of 1/2 c, omitted salt, used 3 t dried parsley and didn't bother to toast the walnuts. Next time I will omit the sugar entirely. Don't think I will miss it. I found it helpful to chop the celery, carrot and red onion the day before and also cook the rice then. Waited until the day I put it together to chop the apple so it wouldn't turn brown. It does make a lot! Used my largest Tupperware container and it filled it to the top. For just family and no company I will half it next time. There was something about the texture as well as the taste that was just so good! Thank you so much for sharing! This is already in more than one ToH folders and a recipe card. I don't want to lose it! This will be a staple for us.</p>

<p>This is such a fun salad. Love the addition of the sauerkraut with the rice.  The walnuts really took care of the texture.  Great additions to the recipe box!</p>

I followed the recipe exactly except I didn't have fresh parsley on hand.  I just added a bit of dried parsley instead.  It turned out great!  Fresh, crunchy, sweet and sour :)  It makes a lot, so I will probably make it for the next potluck event I attend since it is very unique and definitely something not anyone else is going to make.
