GRILLED SUMMER SAUSAGE SALAD

Grilled Summer Sausage Salad image

I love grilling vegetables, especially those straight from the garden. The summer sausage is a fun twist, and the veggies really get to shine in this main dish salad. Fresh garden herbs also taste great mixed into this salad. To amp up the flavor even more, try grilling romaine lettuce instead of using a salad mix. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

SMOKED SAUSAGE LETTUCE SALAD

SMOKED SAUSAGE LETTUCE SALAD image

This salad recipe is an original. I tried it one night just to see how it would do. Uncertain about my finished product, and never seeing this before, it was a self made contest. I could toss it if necessary. The opposite happened and I have been enjoying this salad as a complete meal since. Let me know what you think of it....Jewel
