Zesty Mixed Salad With Italian Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until evenly browned. Remove from heat, and drain.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, tortilla chips, mozzarella cheese, Cheddar cheese, and salad greens. Toss with Italian dressing until evenly coated, and serve.

Steps:

• Mix up the Italian Dressing as per the instructions on the package (I usually add a little extra water, but that's up to you). It is also good to use raspberry flavored vinegar.
• Add honey to the dressing and shake/mix well.
• Brown the sausage, drain and set aside (keeping warm, but not hot).
• In the meanwhile place the lettuce on the bottom of a big bowl.
• Top with the tomatoes, both types of beans, green onions and finally the cheese.
• Top the salad with the warm sausage.
• Pour 3 or 4 turns of the dressing over the salad and mix well with tongs. Add more dressing if you like, but be forwarned that a little dressing goes a long way with this salad.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until brown and cooked through, breaking the sausage into bite-size pieces, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate. Cool to room temperature.
• Chop and combine the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and cooked sausage in a large bowl. Add beans and enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix tomatoes, vinegar and 1 teaspoon oregano until well blended. In small bowl, mix mustard and 2 teaspoons oregano.
• In skillet, heat sausages as directed on package for pan heating.
• Spread mustard mixture on cut sides of buns. Serve sausages on buns with tomato mixture.
