Salad Prep

Remove any casing from the sausage. Cut the meat into small matchsticks or strips.
Slice the gherkins into matchsticks and the onions into thin slices. **See notes Then, put them into a large mixing bowl together with the sausage.

Dressing

In a small mixing bowl, stir together the oil, vinegar, pepper, salt and liquid from the pickle jar.
Taste and adjust the seasoning. ***See notes
Option to stir chopped fresh dill into the vinaigrette.

Assembly

Pour the dressing into the bowl and mix the salad until everything is well-combined.
Let the salad rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This way, the flavors can mingle and it will taste even better.

** Optional step to reduce the sharp taste and smell of onions: Soak the sliced onions in ice-cold water for 30 minutes. Rinse with fresh water, pat dry and add them to the salad.
*** If you used cornichons, consider adding a teaspoon of allulose or honey to the dressing to increase sweetness. This is not necessary if you are using classic dill pickles.
