Summer Chop Salad



Summer Chop Salad
Serves 2

I’ve started to use Turkey sausage as a healthy option replacement in a number of recipes, but it pays off in a big way as a stand-alone ingredient in this salad.

6 cups baby spinach
 1 1/2 Cups chopped papaya
¼ Cup thinly sliced red onion
8 links of sliced turkey sausage
1 cup sliced cucumbers

Dressing
1 Tbl balsamic Vinegar
3 Tblsp seasoned sweet rice vinegar
3 Tblsp water
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp brown sugar
3 Tblsp extra virgin olive oil


 These are approximate numbers. Actual amounts may vary.
