I really enjoyed the melding of the flavors of this salad. Nice and fresh to counterbalance the rather heavy taste of meats enjoyed in German cuisine.

We very much enjoyed this salad, and I will definitely be making this again. I chose it for ZWT6, as I felt that it really represented German-style cooking. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
