Wurstsalat (Swiss/German Sausage Salad)

lyoner sausage (bologna also works)

swiss cheese (optional)

baby dill pickles

onion

parsley (optional)

white wine vinegar

neutral-tasting oil

pickle juice

salt and pepper

Cut the sausage into slices (if it isn't already sliced) and then into thin strips. Cut the swiss cheese and the baby dill pickles into thin strips as well. Place everything into a large mixing bowl.

Peel the onion and chop it into very small cubes or thin strips and add them to the bowl as well.

Now prepare the dressing. For that, add the white wine vinegar, oil, pickle juice, salt, and pepper to a small bowl. Mix everything well then pour it over the ingredients in the large bowl.

Mix everything until the sausage and cheese are evenly coated in the dressing.

Cover the bowl and place the sausage salad in the fridge for an hour so the flavors can mingle (this makes a big difference in taste, in our opinion!).

After the hour is up, remove the salad from the fridge, taste it, and add more salt, pepper, and/or vinegar to taste.

Serve the salad with fresh soft pretzels or crusty bread.

Popular throughout Switzerland, Germany, eastern France and Austria, this Swiss Wurstsalat (Sausage Salad) is low carb, high protein and PACKED with flavor.&nbsp; It's satisfying and delicious!
