Wurstsalat (German:[ˈvʊʁstzaˌlaːt]ⓘ, literallysausage salad) is a tartsausage salad prepared with distilled whitevinegar,oil andonions.[1][2] A variation of the recipe adds strips of pickledgherkin. It is generally made from boiled sausage likeLyoner,stadtwurst,Regensburger Wurst orextrawurst. It is a traditional snack inSouthern Germany,Alsace,Switzerland andAustria (where it is known asSaure Wurst, lit. "sour sausage"). In the Czech Republic, similar snack is served in full, not cut to slices, and is known as “the drowning man”, “utopenec” in Czech.
To prepare the dish, the sausage is cut into thin slices or strips and placed, along with raw onion (sliced into rings or diced), in a vinegar and oilmarinade, lightly seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes paprika.[1] Common additional ingredients are finely cut gherkins, radishes,parsley orchives. Wurstsalat is generally served withbread and sometimes fried potatoes.
Popular variants are theSchwäbischer Wurstsalat (Swabian wurstsalat), which uses one half blood sausage, andSchweizer Wurstsalat (Swiss wurstsalat), which like theStraßburger Wurstsalat (Strasbourg wurstsalat) orElsässer Wurstsalat (Alsacian wurstsalat) also containsEmmental cheese and uses the traditional Swisscervelat instead of Lyoner sausage.
