Italian Sausage Salad
A hearty entrée salad that features young fingerling potatoes and Italian sausage, it's a good dish for summer.  It requires little cooking and can be built, mostly, well in advance. Much of the last hour before dinner is spent simply waiting for the flavors to blend as the dish cools to room temperature.
Ingredients
1 pound fingerling or new potatoes
2 links Isernio's Mild Italian Sausage or Italian Chicken Sausage (about 7 oz)
2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
  Scant tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  Salt
  Black pepper
2 green onions
 

Mesclun, romain, arugula or other salad greens of your choice

 
Method
Put the potatoes (whole, skins on) in a saucepan with water to cover. Add one (1) tablespoon salt, cover, bring to a full boil, then reduce heat and simmer until they're tender, about 20 minutes.
Pan brown the sausage (use the basic cooking instructions for pan browning).
While the potatoes and sausage are cooking, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, white wine and mustard into a vinaigrette.
Drain the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch slices. Put them in a large bowl and pour the vinaigrette over them while still hot. Add sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss and stir gently, taking care not to break up the potatoes.

Drain the sausage and cut into thin slices. Mix with the potatoes and set aside to cool for an hour or so, stirring occasionally.

Chop the scallions, stir into the potatoes and sausage. Check seasoning and serve atop a bed of salad greens. Makes a meal in itself on a hot spring or summer evening.
