- minGrüezi! My first entry for Swiss cuisine. A Swiss salad… but not your typical salad. I don’t know why it’s called a salad, but it is. The first time I was introduced to this salad, I asked the chef “so where does the salad go?” and he replied, “that’s it…that’s the salad”. Till today, it still bugs me that there is actually no green in it. This is one of the hubby’s favourite and he probably eats it once a week and sneakily tells me he had salad for lunch.
This salad is made from cervelats. The No.1 sausage in Switzerland. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT ever diss cervelats. You’d probably get thrown out from the country and friendships would get ruined because of it. The Swiss love their cervelats so much, that there was once a threat that there was a shortage of it and people were outraged. Google it. I think if there really is none of it anymore, Switzerland would not function. I’m just joking…or am I? 😉
So here it is, go impress your Swiss friend with this classic.

If you ask for a garnished sallad, ” Würst-Käse Salat garniert”, you will get your greens ;).
Yes, definately. But deep down inside, I love that it’s called a salat, without greens. 🙂
