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!!

This salad is the perfect make-ahead dish. It's even better the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to meld.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover sausage. I always have some leftover from breakfast or dinner, and this salad is the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a huge fan of sausage, but I loved this salad! The dressing is what really makes it. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

This salad is so versatile! I've used different types of sausage and apples, and it's always delicious. I also like to add a bit of chopped celery or red onion for extra crunch.
