Wurstsalat (German Sausage Salad)
Wurstsalat (German Sausage Salad) is German home cooking, eaten at dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boiled pork sausage (Fleischwurst or Lyoner), sliced into strips
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 dill pickles, sliced
- 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Combine the sliced sausage, red onion, and pickles in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the vinegar, oil, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the sausage mixture and toss well to coat.
- Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature so the flavors meld.
- Scatter the chives over the top just before serving with dark bread on the side.
