Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage Salad with Pears, Feta & Curry Vinaigrette

Prepare the dressing by mixing all ingredients until well-blended. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Preheat a small skillet over medium heat. Slice the sausage links into 1/4-inch coins and place into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side until it is lightly browned. Flip each piece and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the second side is lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

While the chicken sausage cooks, combine the salad greens, bell pepper, feta cheese and the pear in a large bowl. Divide the mixture among two large salad plates. Divide the chicken sausage pieces among the two salads and then drizzle the vinaigrette over the salads.

Serve while the chicken sausage is slightly warm.

Cassie’s Notes:
Use any salad dressing you prefer. The curry powder is surprisingly sweet when paired with the apple cider vinegar and pairs perfectly with the sausage, feta and pears.

The bell peppers didn’t take away from the salad but didn’t really add anything either. Make this salad even simpler by omitting them.
