A German classic from Saxony-Anhalt: Harzer cheese, the sour milk cheese from the Harz mountains, is eaten there in salads too. The golden yellow slices steep in a robust vinegar and oil marinade with onion rings and caraway, turning soft and savoury in the process. Pickled gherkins and apple slices add acidity and freshness.

Instructions

1
Cut the Harzer cheese into slices about 1 cm thick and halve or quarter these depending on their size.
2
Peel the red onions and cut them into fine rings. Cut the pickled gherkins into thin slices.
3
Wash and quarter the apple, remove the core and cut the unpeeled flesh into fine slices.
4
For the marinade, whisk the white wine vinegar thoroughly with the rapeseed oil, the caraway seeds, the sugar, salt and pepper.
5
Carefully toss the cheese, onion rings, gherkin slices and apple slices with the marinade in a bowl.
6
Leave the salad to steep in the fridge, covered, so that the cheese takes on the seasoning.
