Our Favorite Kraut Salad

Are you looking for an easy way to try kraut? This recipe combines the sour tang of kraut with a bit of sweetness from fresh carrots and raisins and a bit of seasoning to mellow it all out. I have served this numerous times to people “who don’t like kraut” but gobble this up. Feel free to modify and make this to your own family’s tastes.
