Peel the sausage and slice it down the middle, then cut into pieces.

Grate the gruyere cheese using a coarse grater.

Thinly slice half a red onion and add to the bowl.

Chop chives finely and add to the bowl.

In a separate bowl, break 2 egg yolks and add grapeseed oil, mustard, balsamic vinegar, and herb vinegar to make a dressing.

Mix the dressing until it reaches a light mayonnaise consistency.

Combine the sausage, cheese, onion, and chives in a bowl and coat with the dressing.

Let the salad marinate for at least 1.5 hours, preferably overnight in the fridge.

Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice on top.
