This bologna salad is always a MUST buy when we stop by the butcher to pick up breakfast items for a delicious German Frühstück (breakfast) with my family. It's actually SO EASY to make and I know you will love it!
You will find this and many more German classics in my cookbook!
ozpork bolognaMost bologna in America is made from a mixture of pork and beef. Sometimes I can find German pork bologna at European markets OR I buy sliced Mortadella (an Italian bologna made from pork). You can also use traditional Wiener sausages since they are already cooked. If you're not having luck finding any of this, you can of course use whichever bologna you can find.
ozpickled cucumbersI buy a large jar of German 'Barrel Pickles' at World Market. Dill pickles or cornichons are great too.
ozmayonnaiseI always use the real kind, not light or Miracle Whip.

If you didn't buy sliced pork bologna, you will first slice it, then cut it into thin, long strips. Also cut the pickled cucumbers into thin strips, about the same length.
Stir together with the mayo.
Add a splash of pickle juice and season to taste with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar.
Garnish with parsley, chives or sliced green onion.
Enjoy on sliced bread of Brötchen as part of a German breakfast (these German sunflower seed rolls or German wheat rolls are my favorite Fleischsalat pairing).
