Ingredients
  

Salad

  • 1 bag of spring mix or your favorite salad greens
  • 1 package of baby bella mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped red pepper
  • 1/2 lb. sausage sweet or hot, however you like it. I used sweet turkey sausage
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 Tbsp. shredded parmesan
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil for cooking mushrooms and sausage

Dressing

  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder more if you love it
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1-2 finely chopped Campari tomatoes or handful of grape or cherry tomatoes
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a small frying pan, heat up a little olive oil and sauté the mushrooms until golden and a little crispy in places. Set aside.
  • In the same pan that you used to sauté the mushrooms, add a little more olive oil and cook the sausage until nicely browned. Set aside to cool a bit.
  • In a small bowl, mix all the dressing ingredients and whisk with a fork.
  • To assemble the salad, put the salad greens in a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle with chopped red pepper and mozzarella cheese.
  • Add the sausage and mushrooms.
  • Top with the dressing
  • Sprinkle the parmesan over the top.
