A lighter fare. I always like to post recipes that are fairly easy and quick. There is nothing more enjoyable then being able to eat delicious foods, and not spend hours cooking them. This salad doesn't have much cooking at all. It's a typical green salad, that will definitely get your daily veg intake and some healthy protein. You can switch the shrimp out for just about anything you have in your refrigerator.

Boy were those the days! Now I have to cook for myself AND do the dishes, womp womp. I actually took this recipe from my mom, and put my own twist on it. Traditionally, I would have it with a tomato sauce. This time I wanted a lighter feel, so I went with the garlic and olive oil. You can use red onions, or yellow/red/green peppers as well. I chose Italian chicken sausage, but you can also go for a pork or turkey depending on preference. This is great over rice or pasta, or even just alone! It's super simple, very few ingredients and so delicious.
Ingredients: 1 package of mild Italian chicken sausage 1 orange pepper 1 white onion 2 garlic cloves Olive oil Directions: Begin by browning your sausage in a pan with olive oil. Slice up your onions and peppers and begin to cook with garlic, olive oil, and black pepper in a separate pan. When sausage is browned enough, take off of pan and slice. Once sliced, add to pan with onions and peppers allowing to finish the cooking process and adding all the flavors together. Serve over rice or pasta, or enjoy on its own!
