Swiss sausage salad is a typical part of a Bavarian Brotzeit, often enjoyed in a beer garden. Traditionally, Wurstsalat is made with "Regensburger", a short, thick, smoked German sausage made from coarsely ground pork. However, Regensburger sausages can often be difficult to find, so German-style bologna sausage makes a good substitute. Without the Emmental cheese, it is known as Bavarian sausage salad.
