Celebrate Bologna with Salad

Bologna or "Baloney" as it may be referred to is the makings of a delicious sandwich. Bologna is a sausage that is commonly used as luncheon meat. Bologna comes in a variety of choices.

Regular Bologna

German Bologna that my grandparents preferred may also be called garlic bologna. It often has more garlic seasoning than regular bologna would have.

Beef Bologna is normally redder in color than regular bologna. Beef bologna is only made with beef products.

Kosher Bologna

and these are just 4 of the most common. Bologna could include pork, beef, chicken and spices.



This recipe for bologna salad will make up about 5 cups of salad. It is very easy to make and only takes about 15 minutes to prepare.

Start with the ingredients
1 16 oz. pack bologna (I use beef & pork) cut in thin strips
1/8 to 1/4 cup chopped red onion
4 oz. (half a small block) cheddar cheese, cut in 1/4″ strips
1/8 cup roasted peppers (from glass jar)
1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. coarse pepper
a pinch of garlic powder
a good amount of extra virgin olive oil to taste
a few splashes of red wine vinegar to taste

Then here is what you do

Toss all ingredients together and serve immediately with crusty bread or as a side at BBQ’s.

As a variation if you don’t like the amount of bologna in the dish, try mixing cold cuts such as hard salami, sliced chicken or turkey along with bologna. I guarantee, if you have a savory taste, you’ll love it!
