Experience the classic flavors of Germany with Fleischsalat, a savory and creamy meat salad that's perfect as a side dish or a flavorful spread. This quick and easy recipe combines tender strips of bologna or cooked ham with tangy pickles, all enveloped in a rich dressing made from mayonnaise, sour cream, and a touch of white vinegar for zing. Lightly sweetened with sugar and seasoned with black pepper and salt, this dish delivers a delightful balance of flavors in every bite. Ready in just 20 minutes (plus a little chilling time), Fleischsalat is versatile and ideal for picnics, brunch spreads, or simple snacking. Serve it chilled on crusty bread or alongside potatoes for an authentic taste of German comfort food.
Cut the bologna (or cooked ham) into thin strips, approximately 5cm in length.
Chop the pickles into thin slices or small strips to match the size of the meat.
In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream. Stir until smooth.
Add the vinegar and sugar to the creamy mixture. Mix thoroughly to dissolve the sugar.
Add salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste, and stir to combine.
Fold the meat strips and pickles into the creamy mixture, ensuring everything is well coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish or spread on bread as a hearty snack.
