1. Oma's Wurstsalat

Wurstsalat ... a traditional meat salad from southern Germany. Traditionally, it's made without mayonnaise as are most salads in the south. 

Ingredients:

• 1 pound Lyoner sausage or ring bologna
• 2 large pickles, German if available
• 1 large onion
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 4 tablespoons sunflower oil
• salt, pepper
• fresh parsley to garnish

Instructions:

1. Cut Lyoner sausage into thin strips (julienned) or thin slices.
2. Dice pickles.
3. Cut onions into thin rings.
4. Put the meat, pickles, and onions into a bowl and gently mix.
5. Make a salad dressing by mixing the vinegar and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over Wurstsalat and mix. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and let sit for about ½ hour in the fridge before serving.
6. Serve with German bread, pumpernickel, or buns.

Hints:

For delicious variations, add any of the following:

• 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
• 1 diced apple or cucumber
  
• ½ pound Gouda or Edam cheese, shaved or julienned
• add a bit of sugar, to taste
• add some pickle juice from the jar
