Wurstsalat (German Sausage Salad) is a hearty German side dish. Made of julienne bologna sausage, pickles, apple, and spices. Quick and simple and perfect with a side of crusty bread.
In Germany, you'll find this as a side salad often served for dinner.
Why dinner? Because traditionally Germans eat their warm meal midday.
Dinner often consists of an array of hearty German bread (if you go to Germany, be sure to try their many, many styles of bread ... you won't regret it), cheese, cold cuts, and simple side salads like this Wurstsalat, chopped Tomato Salad, or Cucumber Salad.
You will also find Wurstsalat served with a side of fried potatoes.
