Fleischsalat is my recipe of the day. This is a German version of ham salad which uses bologna as the meat.
The method is quite simple; it’s the type of bologna used that really makes the difference. Use a German style ring bologna or ringwurst, as it is called.
This is one of my husband’s favorites and I have prepared it a number of ways. Besides being great on crackers with a cold beer, it also does a fine job as a sandwich spread.
