Step 1:

How do you make a salad with hunter's sausages? Peel the casing off the sausages. Cut them into rounds or thin strips.
Step 2:

We have potatoes boiled in their skins. Peel them and chop into neat cubes or strips — whichever you prefer.
Step 3:

Rinse the brine off the pickle — no need to peel it. Cut it into slices first, then into strips.
Step 4:

Next, take the leek. I cut it into thin half-rings.
Step 5:

Use a hard cheese. You can grate it or slice it thinly — I went with grating.
Step 6:

Measure out the green peas and drain off the liquid.
Step 7:

Now gather all the prepped ingredients in a bowl.
Step 8:

Then season with ground pepper, salt (optional!), the cheese, and mayonnaise. The salad already has plenty of sharp ingredients, so next time I'll make it with fresh cucumber and sour cream.
Step 9:

Mix everything well. Taste it and add whatever it needs.
Step 10:

Serve the salad, shaping it nicely.

A few more tips. The whole point of this salad is its versatility — you can swap in other ingredients if you don't have the ones listed. Same goes for the dressing: use sour cream, mayonnaise, or a sauce of your own, like a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, and your favorite spices. The dressing really shapes the flavor. Boil the potatoes ahead of time to save time; if they're not ready, add 25–30 minutes for cooking and cooling. Hunter's sausages can be hard to peel — if so, pour boiling water over them, which also guards against any bacteria on the casing. Use either pickled or fresh cucumbers. I used leek because it's milder, softer, and sweeter, but if you like more bite, use red onion instead. I cut the cheese into strips, but you can cube it, or match it to however you've cut the other ingredients. By the way, you can also make this as a warm salad with hunter's sausages — it's a hit either way!
It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself — it'll taste better and be healthier. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as a dressing instead of, or mixed with, mayonnaise in any ratio you like; this lightens up the dish.
