German classics take the form of an Italian bread salad—because a pretzel has been made into a hot dog bun and a croissant but rarely a salad, though it's up for the cause. It can stay soft on the inside while toasting on the outside, it takes to liquid (dressing...), and speaks up above other loud ingredients. Here, those shouters are hearty brassicas (brussels sprouts and broccoli), mustard, and pickled red onions (adapted from fiveandspice's recipe). Sausage wouldn't be an outsider here, either. <br /> <br />Seek out good bakery-quality soft pretzels here; they just have more pretzel flavor—though I've used the Super Pretzels from the frozen section (defrosted) and nobody's complained.
