Swedish Pizza
Salad
I have always been of the mind that if coleslaw and sauerkraut got
together and had a baby it would be named pizza salad. That said it does rather resemble Israeli egg less coleslaw among countless others found in that part of the world. So I
suppose it’s not all that surprising to consider as pizzerias
began to sprout up around the Sweden, and people from that region began to migrate up to Sweden to work them, this particular salad also
started to pop up around the country. In the end while it may not really be truly Swedish per se, nevertheless it has become a staple which can be found at any pizzeria
one stumbles into anywhere in the land! More over it’s super simple to make and
well worth the effort. Personally I have been making this salad myself sense the
late 80s, and have enjoyed it still longer then that. One more thing I will confess is this recipe
is based on the one in my school cook book, which I went on line and compared
to a couple others and they were practically identical so there you go…
