Grilled Sausage and Sweet Potato Salad
Servings: 4 -4 servings
Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 6 sausage links I prefer turkey sausage, but use whatever sausage you like
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 3 cups mixed greens
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
For the dressing:
- 1/4 cup pilsner beer* optional
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
- While heating your grill, prepare your vegetables. Peel both sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch thick discs. Slice your bell pepper in half vertically, then once more so that you have 4 long pieces. Brush the vegetables with olive oil or avocado oil.
- Cook sausages and vegetables on the grill, turning about every five minutes. Your vegetables will be charred, and sausage should be cooked though.
- Chop up your veggies into small pieces, and sausage into bite size pieces. Place the salad ingredients with mixed greens into a large bowl, and add fresh cilantro and green onion.
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients into a small bowl: beer (if using), apple cider vinegar, garlic, honey, mustard, and oil. Pour over top the veggies and sausage.
- Serve immediately.
