# Meaty Potato Salads This Potato Salad Recipe Features Chinese Sausage Ingredients By Jana Pijak | Published 2015-08-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potato-salad References: [iamafoodblog](http://iamafoodblog.com/chinese-sausage-potato-salad/) While most potato salads adhere to vegetarian diet restrictions, this meaty recipe is created for carnivores and features an unexpected ingredient -- Chinese sausage that is diced. Made with cooked [nugget potatoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-potato-range), hard boiled eggs and Chinese sausage, this potato salad recipe is a hearty side dish when served during dinner hours but can also be enjoyed solo at lunch. Accented with green onions and diced celery stalks, the flavorful salad also features a [signature sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saucified) that is made with whole grain mustard, mayonnaise and blend of salt and pepper spices. Once ready, this potato salad will impress meat lovers and is an ideal side dish at casual backyard gatherings or parties that feature family style meal servings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Meat-inclusive Recipes:** Opportunity for chefs and restaurants to attract meat-eaters with innovative recipes that add meat to traditionally vegetarian dishes. - **Global Flavor Fusion:** Opportunity for chefs and food companies to experiment with blending ingredients from different cultures to create unique and exciting flavor profiles. - **Hearty Side Dishes:** Opportunity for restaurants and home cooks to create new and innovative side dishes that are filling and satisfying for meat-eaters. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food companies and restaurants to create and market meat-inclusive recipes and global flavor fusions. - **Catering:** Opportunity for catering companies to create new and innovative side dishes that cater to meat-eaters and provide hearty options for clients. - **Food Media:** Opportunity for food bloggers, recipe websites and cooking shows to feature meat-inclusive recipes and global flavor fusions to cater to their audience's tastes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vegan BBQ Sides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-bbq-menu.md) - [Cheesy Breakfast Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-breakfast-hash.md) - [Festives Corned Beef Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corned-beef-and-cabbage-sausage.md) - [Corned Beef-Stuffed Potatoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corned-beef-spud.md) - [Juicy Meat-Free Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-plantbased-sausage.md) - [Plant-Based Eggless Salads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggless-salad.md) - [Crispy Food-to-Go Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potato-dogs.md) - [Protein Mashed Potatoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-mashed-potatoes.md) - [Aromatic Plant-Based Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aromatic-plantbased-sausages.md)
