ZESTY MIXED SALAD WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE

Zesty Mixed Salad With Italian Sausage image

Our FAVORITE salad ever. . .it's a spin on one of Giada's recipes. Great as a main dish or as a side. I love the mix of the lettuce, warm salty sausage, creamy cheese and beans along with the sweet dressing. Sure to please anyone!

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 heads romaine lettuce, cut into bite sized pieces
8 ounces bulk Italian sausage (sweet, traditional or hot)
15 grape tomatoes, cut in half
1/3 cucumber, peeled and cubed
4 ounces monterey jack cheese cubes
3/4 cup canned red kidney beans, rinsed and patted dry
3/4 cup canned garbanzo beans, rinsed and patted dry
2 green onions, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
Good Seasons Italian dressing (the dry mix)
2 tablespoons honey

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.
