How to Make Pistachio Sauerkraut Salad Low Carb Diabetic

  1. Drain 1 (16-ounce) jar of sauerkraut in a large colander. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess brine. Drain well.
  2. While sauerkraut drains, prepare the pudding according to package directions. If you are making your own pudding (using sugar substitute) it will need to be made first and set.
  3. Once the pudding has begun to set, finely grate the zest of 1 lemon and add it to the pudding.
  4. Coarsely chop 1/2 cup pistachios and 1/4 cup pecans. A food processor works well for this.
  5. Gently squeeze out any remaining water from the sauerkraut using a large spoon or spatula.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the drained sauerkraut, prepared pudding, chopped nuts, 1/4 cup currants (or to taste), and 2 tablespoons of Splenda (or your preferred sugar substitute). Stir until well combined.
  7. Pour the salad into a serving container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Enjoy your refreshing and healthy Pistachio Sauerkraut Salad!
