Ugh no, I hate sauerkraut. :sigh:

The local deli where I go to usually places their cold cuts and sausages for sale at 50% off when they get close to expiring (seems Im the only one who buys over there since there's always a 50% sale off), and I got a full sized kielbasa for $2.29, 2 packs of Texas hot links for $1.53 each and a pack of Bavarian smoked sausages for $1.24. :mrgreen:
I dont want to go with potato salad since all that mayo in it would just be fattening, so I was looking for a side dish that would act in contrast to the smoked sausage yet healthy and refreshing. Any suggestions?

The pickled red cabbage is awesome too - less sour, more sweet. This one is my favorite:

I don't know about healthy, but the correct choices for kielbasa are mashed potatoes and sauerkraut with lots of onions.
In Poland, sliced and precooked Kielbasa is served in thickened soups and porridge stews, with many available local vegetables, especially mustard greens and different squashes, turnips and parsnips. Also, with sides of boiled potatoes garnished with chopped parsley and black pepper. Sauerkraut is seen only in areas close to the German borders, and rife with caraway seeds. Thinly sliced fried kielbasa mixed with home fries and peas, topped with a fried egg or two, and accompanied by thick slices of fresh whole grain breads is a popular breakfast treat during winter months, sometimes had for dinner as well. There are different regional versions of kielbasa, some spicier, some drier, some more savory. Tho kielbasa is well known here, there are hundreds of other sausages found in Poland and not elsewhere, including sausages made from smoked fresh water fish, an acquired taste. The idea of a single serving choice for kielbasa is American, not Polish. Kind of like believing corn beef and cabbage is an Irish dish, which in reality, no one in Ireland eats.
So I grew up in a city with a huge Polish population, and that's literally the most common way they ate kielbasa. So my comment about "the correct way" was just snarky --but it is (or was) definitely a popular way of doing things in Poland. Unless it's like marinara sauce, which is Italian-American, I would wager that at least during the 1930's in some region of Poland, it was popular. But who knows.
That being said, that sounds great and reminds me of Andouie sausage stews like gumbo.
