SWISS WURSTSALAT (SAUSAGE SALAD)



Swiss Wurstsalat (Sausage Salad) image

A flavorful main-dish salad. In some places, cervelas sausage is called cervelat. The Swiss butcher at my local German deli tells me that what is called Knackwurst is actually Swiss Cervelat. Although the original recipe says not to cook or grill the sausage but rather use it "raw", I would make sure the sausage is pre-cooked or smoked and not actually raw. (Raw pork, eeww) Also, you can use only emmenthaler (swiss) cheese and gruyere if tilsiter is unavailable, just adjust amounts. I don't know why the food.com memory banks call it "knackwurst of frankfurter" but do NOT use hot dogs!!

SAVORY SAUSAGE SALAD (AKA WURSTSALAT)



Savory Sausage Salad (aka Wurstsalat) image

I had never had wurstsalat until I sampled some at Disney's Epcot's Biergarten in the German pavillion. One bite and I was head-over-heels! I came home and scoured the net collecting every recipe available because theme park admission is just too darn expensive to shell out every time a craving hits. This is the culmination of my efforts. If you want to stretch it out a little bit, toss 2 cups of sliced cooked potatoes in with the mix.

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon German mustard or 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons cold beef stock
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 lb bratwursts or 1 lb knockwurst, precooked and thinly sliced into disks
1/2 cup sweet onion, thinly sliced

1 cup sour dill pickle, thinly sliced into disks

Steps:

  • Whisk the dressing ingredients together.
  • Toss the salad ingredients with the dressing.
  • Refrigerate for 2 hours prior to serving to let the flavors blend.

Tips:

- To make the dressing, whisk together the vinegar, oil, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. - Use high-quality sausage for the best flavor. - If you can't find cooked sausage, you can cook your own by boiling it in water for about 10 minutes. - Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as shredded carrots, chopped celery, or sliced cucumbers. - If you're making the salad ahead of time, don't add the dressing until just before serving. This will help to prevent the salad from getting soggy. - Serve the salad with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Swiss Wurstsalat is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With its simple ingredients and flavorful dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
