Wurstsalat is a traditional German dish made from cooked sausage and other ingredients. It is typically served cold as an appetizer or main course. There are many different variations of wurstsalat, but all of them include a few key ingredients: sausage, vinegar, and onions. The type of sausage used can vary, but some of the most common include bratwurst, knackwurst, and Blutwurst. The vinegar can be either white or red, and the onions are typically thinly sliced. Other ingredients that may be added to wurstsalat include pickles, hard-boiled eggs, and croutons.

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.
