German Salads — Fresh, Simple and Deeply Rooted in Tradition

Traditional german salads are fresh, simple and full of flavor. Furthermore, they are far more than just a side dish. In Baden, a good salad is part of every Vesperbrett and every summer grill. Moreover, German salads differ greatly from region to region. In the south, warm broth dressings are traditional. In the north, creamy mayonnaise versions are more common. Additionally, my father made his famous Baden potato salad every time we grilled in the Black Forest. In short, these are the authentic recipes that German home cooks have made for generations.
