🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 cups raw sauerkraut (drained, roughly chopped)
✓ 2 medium beets (roasted, peeled, diced into ½-inch cubes)
✓ 1 cup mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or romaine)
✓ ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
✓ ¼ cup fresh dill (chopped)
✓ 2 tbsp sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds (toasted)
✓ Salt and black pepper to taste
✓ 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional, traditional)
✓ ½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
✓ 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
✓ 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
✓ 2 tbsp vegetable or chicken broth
✓ 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
✓ ½ tsp garlic powder

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Beets: Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap cleaned beets in foil and roast for 12–15 minutes until fork-tender. Cool slightly, then rub off skin with a damp cloth. Dice into ½-inch cubes and set aside.

2. Drain the Sauerkraut: Place sauerkraut in a fine-mesh strainer and gently press to remove excess brine. Rinse briefly under cold water if you prefer a milder fermented flavor. Pat dry with paper towels.

3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, olive oil, vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder until smooth and emulsified. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.

4. Assemble the Salad Base: Divide mixed greens between two bowls or plates. Layer sauerkraut, beets, and red onion evenly on top.

5. Add the Dressing: Drizzle half the yogurt dressing over each salad. Gently toss to combine, ensuring vegetables are lightly coated without becoming soggy.

6. Garnish and Serve: Top each bowl with 1 tbsp of toasted seeds and a generous pinch of fresh dill. If using, sprinkle caraway seeds over the top. Serve immediately while greens are crisp.

7. Optional: Make-Ahead Tip: Store dressing separately in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep greens and sauerkraut in separate containers and combine just before eating to prevent wilting.
