Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Pork sausage (e.g., Lyoner or bologna)
- 150 grams Swiss cheese
- 3 medium Pickles (preferably dill)
- 1 small White onion
- 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients. Slice the pork sausage into thin, bite-sized strips. Do the same with the Swiss cheese, cutting it into thin strips to match the sausage.
Slice the pickles into thin discs or small matchsticks, depending on your preference. Peel the onion and cut it into very thin rings or slices.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the white wine vinegar, vegetable oil, yellow mustard, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced sausage, cheese, pickles, and onions.
Pour the dressing over the sausage and cheese mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the salad for a fresh garnish.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. If desired, you can prepare this salad up to a day in advance.
Before serving, give the salad a light toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled or at room temperature as an appetizer, side dish, or a light meal with crusty bread.
