Serve With

In Alsace this salad is served with cold chunks of cervelas, a knockwurstlike sausage, but it's also delicious when cooked with grilled or roasted chicken, pork chops or steak.

Notes

Melfor vinegar, a typical Alsatian condiment seasoned with honey and infused with herbs, is available at melfor.com.
