My ideal summer meal.
Wurstsalat.
I make mine without mayonnaise. Both versions are traditional.
About a pound or two pounds of bockwurst (bologna works), use a higher quality meat, get a better product. sliced thin and cubed into 1/4 inch cubes.
Pound of mixed dried sausages also 1/4 inch cubes. I usually use whatever I have. Summer sausage. Some Italian dry sausage, probably lots of wrong and right answers. I wouldn't use liverwurst.
Two cups of your favorite pickles 1/4 inch cubes. (two cups might be too much for you adjust it to your liking.
1 onion chopped fine
Optional things. Moderately traditional, not so much here in Rheinland Pfalz, but those Austrians who live closer to Italy do this.
Tinned onions 1 jar strained
Tinned black seedless olives a cup strained
Tinned green seedless olives a cup strained
tinned mixed veg like peppers, dried tomatoes,
Cooked chilled strained tortellini (I don't do this, but it works)
Hard cheese you like half pound or so cut into 1/4 inch cubes (you can add this when served)
Mayonnaise if you are doing that one
Boiled eggs chopped 1/4 inch cubes (I don't do this either)
Toss all ingredients together in a big glass bowl.
Take a 1/4-1/2 cup of vinegar or salad dressing that you actually like (I use dill pickle water) Or enough Mayonnaise to cover it half to a cup)
I use a lot of pepper
I use some salt (it seems to be better)
Place everything in the bowl except the cheese cover and let sit at least 3 hours in the fridge.
Add the cheese to taste and strain serve and eat.
Goes well with fries, and it is commonly served that way in Germany.
I don't mind it with a salad for those on Keto.
