Fleisch Salat

Fleisch Salat

I thought this was a cool blog idea, which it is, but turns out it will be really short as there isn't a lot you can say about it, other than it's good and you should try it.  Anyway...

Leave it to the Germans to have a "meat salad".  And, I say that with the utmost respect and admiration, I mean, what a great idea.  We ate this frequently during the summer and it always hit the spot, but it was even better the next day,  The concept couldn't be simpler.  Meat (typically deli ham), onion, bell pepper, dill pickle, and a nice vinegar and oil.  Mom like to use Italian dressing.  What?  Italy is fairly close to Germany, so we will go with it.  Basically almost any vinegar and oil dressing can work.  I suppose you could go nuts and add lots of other things into this salad, but I like to stick with what I grew up with.  The only real advice I have is to stay with deli ham and dill pickles the first time you make it.  Then if you like the concept, go crazy and make it with whatever you want.  It is a great lunch or light dinner for a hot day.  Enjoy.
