1. Begin by preparing the ingredients: Thinly slice the bologna or cooked ham into narrow strips (about matchstick-size). Dice the dill pickles into small, uniform cubes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, white vinegar, and sugar. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
3. Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
4. Add the prepared bologna and diced dill pickles to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold everything together until the meat and pickles are evenly coated in the creamy mixture.
5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Fleischsalat for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Before serving, give the salad a final stir. Optionally, sprinkle the top with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and added freshness.
7. Serve chilled as a side dish, light lunch, or spread on crusty bread rolls or rye bread for a traditional German experience.
