Warm Spinach and Sausage Salad image

From the February/March 2006 issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine. This is a simple salad that works as a main course for lunch, dinner or even breakfast. The magazine says that runny eggs make a richer dressing, but this salad tastes great with scrambled or hard-boiled eggs. I love the lemon-tang of the dressing.

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces bulk pork sausage
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 ounces Baby Spinach

  • Add the olive oil, zest and juice to the pan and, over medium-high heat, stir the mixture with a wooden spoon, scraping up any brown bits, for about 1 minute.

This salad was a bit too heavy for my taste. The sausage was a bit greasy and the dressing was a bit too rich. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the sausage had been grilled instead of fried and if the dressing had been lighter.

Easy and delicious! I made this salad for a potluck and it was a hit. Everyone loved the combination of flavors and textures. The dressing was especially good. I will definitely be making this salad again.
