"Lumpasalot"
Vorarlberg sausage and cheese salad
The “Lumpasalot” - a sausage and cheese salad - is a real classic in Vorarlberg and can be found on almost every mountain hut menu. Especially in summer when temperatures are hot, it is the perfect refreshment during or after a hike.
The classic one consists of 4 ingredients: Sausage (Schüblinge, as the “Knackwurst” is called in Vorarlberg), mountain cheese, gherkins and onions. Add a delicious marinade and you have the ideal regional summer dish.
