    ...Annnd here we are in the second Monday installment of 2017. If you missed last week's post, I chatted about how I'd feature some recipes this month with foods and ingredients I predict will be trending this year. First was small and sustainable fish in this Pesto Sardine Toast, and this week....kraut.

    ...errr kraut juice that is. Fermented foods and drinks are definitely on the upswing, with the popularity of kombucha, probiotic tonics, kimchi, kefir, and the likes.

    Farmhouse Culture sent me an assortment of their fermented goodies a while back. Their Dill Pickle Sauerkraut was an instant win for me, I was mostly intrigued by their line of gut shots.

    aka all that leftover brine after you eat all the good stuff, but is totally loaded with that good gut stuff.

    And since my dill pickle dressing was a big hit, I figured why not make a dressing full of probiotics?!

    Food waste is one of my biggest pet peeves, so utilizing everything a food has to offer (especially one with such health benefits) is my jam.

    I added a clove of garlic to this, which made it super (you guessed it) garlicky, so if that's not your thing, just leave it out and enjoy all that fermented cabbage juice dressing goodness on its own.

      Such a good idea!! I usually take my leftover juice and drizzle it over my salad as a dressing, but I never thought to actually make a dressing out of it!

        I've never tried adding Worcestershire, so not sure how it would much it would change the flavor. Adding it to my list to try next time I make it!
