Method

Toss the cervelat, smoked trout, onion, bell pepper, and dill in a large bowl. Set aside.
Stir the crème fraîche and vinegar together in a small bowl. Whisk in the oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and thick.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add the fusilli. Cook at a rolling boil until just tender. Drain, and toss with the cervelat mixture
