Healthy Sauerkraut Salad

Let's start the week off right with a healthy sauerkraut salad recipe, shall we?

Lima Bean and Sauerkraut Salad

2 cups of naturally fermented sauerkraut
2 cups of cooked lima beans (if pressed for time, you may use canned or cooked frozen lima beans)
1 head of Romaine, Boston, or Red lettuce, chopped
Mayonnaise dressing
Salt and pepper to taste

This is an easy salad to prepare and, since it contains sauerkraut, is a good way to begin a meal as the tangy taste helps stimulate digestive juice flow.

Drain the sauerkraut and pull apart with a fork. Combine well with the beans. Stir in enough mayonnaise to just wet the salad. Spread over a bed of lettuce and serve. Serves 4-6.

For the mayonnaise, you can either make your own or you may use a store-bought brand that is made without soy or canola oils. In the USA, Hain's Safflower Mayonnaise is acceptable and widely sold at supermarkets.
