Drain the sauerkraut and reserve brine for another use (I freeze mine).
Chop sauerkraut so it is like cole slaw.
Place kraut in a bowl with carrots, pimientos, celery, onion, scallion, bacon, parsley, celery seed, pepper flakes, sugar, olive oil, vinegar and black pepper. Mix well.
Refrigerate a couple hours before serving for best flavor.
