Wurstsalat, meaning “sausage salad” in German, is a salad-type dish that consists of sausage in a tart sauce made of vinegar, oil, and onions. The recipe, which originated in Germany, also is popular in Switzerland and Austria. Immigrants introduced the dish to America where today there are many variations; however, traditionally it is made with German pickles, German sausage, and served with German bread such as pumpernickel, like in this recipe.
