How to Make Swiss Wurstsalat Sausage Salad

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup diced red onion, 1/2 cup diced celery, 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color), and 4 ounces cubed Emmentaler cheese and 2 ounces cubed Gruyère cheese (or 6 ounces Tilsiter). Mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetable and cheese mixture. Toss gently to combine.
  4. Add 8 ounces pre-cooked or smoked cervelat sausage, thinly sliced. Gently toss to distribute evenly.
  5. Hard-boil 2 large eggs. Once cooled, peel and slice. Arrange egg slices and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the salad for garnish.
  6. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives over the salad before serving.
