Ingredients
- ¾ pound pork sausages (leberwurst, bratwurst, or knackwurst), cooked
- 1 medium red onion
- 6 whole radishes
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- 1
Slice each sausage lengthwise in half, then turn it cut-side down and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch half-moons, so each piece looks like a thick comma.
- 2
Cut the red onion in half from root to tip, place cut-side down on the cutting board, and slice crosswise into very thin half-rings about 1/16 inch thick, like paper-thin crescents.
- 3
Place each radish on the cutting board and slice very thinly (1/16 inch), as thin as you can, using a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler to shave them.
- 4
Add the sliced onion and 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar to a large bowl, then stir gently and let sit for 1 minute to soften the onion slightly.
- 5
Add the sausage pieces, radish slices, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper to the same bowl and toss gently until everything is coated evenly.
- 6
Scatter the chopped fresh parsley or chives over the top and toss once more to combine.
