Drain the sauerkraut thoroughly to remove excess liquid.

Dice the green peppers into small pieces.

Dice the celery into small pieces.

Dice the onion into small pieces.

Grate the carrots.

In a large bowl, combine the drained sauerkraut, diced green peppers, diced celery, diced onion, and grated carrots.

Add the sugar to the mixture.

Stir all ingredients together well to ensure even distribution.

Transfer the salad to a container with a lid.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld together.

The longer the salad refrigerates, the better the taste will be.

Serve chilled.
