Unlike its American counterpart, this salad is typically dressed with a tangy vinegar-based dressing rather than mayonnaise, highlighting the flavors of the ingredients. It embodies the spirit of Bavarian hospitality and is enjoyed year-round, with variations popping up in homes and restaurants across the globe.
