Scandinavian Potato and Sausage Salad


I love trying new international recipes. This is a Scandinavian salad with sausage (I used vegan soy sausage), potatoes, tomatoes, cornichons, and zucchini. This is my first time making it and we liked it very much.

  • olive oil
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups spicy sausage (vegan or normal), cut into small pieces
  • 1 zucchini, finely chopped
  • 1 tomato, seeded, chopped
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • lettuce leaves
  • 3 small potatoes, boiled and halved
  • cornichons


Heat oil in a skillet. Saute onions for 4 minutes constantly stirring. Add sausage and stir-fry for 4 more minutes. Add zucchini and tomato, mix everything well, and stir fry for a little longer. Add  thyme, mustard, flour and cook over low heat for a minute. Then add red wine vinegar and maple syrup. Turn off the heat. Season to taste.

Serve on a bed of lettuce leaves with potatoes and cornichons. Enjoy!
