Ingredients

2 pieces Weisswurst sausages Locate authentic German Weisswurst for the best result.
1 cup organic mixed greens
1 cup radishes sliced thinly
½ cup cucumbers sliced into rounds
1 small red onion thinly sliced
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
1 pinch salt to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Heat a pot of water over medium heat until warm, about 70°C (160°F). Remove the casing from the Weisswurst sausages and poach them gently in the water for 10 minutes.
While the sausages are poaching, prepare the salad base. In a large bowl, combine the organic mixed greens, sliced radishes, cucumbers, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, white wine vinegar, and olive oil to create the dressing. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Once the sausages are ready, remove them from the water and allow them to cool slightly. Slice the Weisswurst into bite-sized pieces.
Add the sliced Weisswurst to the salad mixture and drizzle with the mustard dressing. Toss everything gently to coat well.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and an added fresh aroma.

Notes

If authentic Weisswurst is unavailable, Bockwursts may serve as an alternative, but note the change in flavors.
For a heartier version, add boiled potatoes sliced into rounds.
