Chopped Salad Recipe With Sausage
This post may contain affiliate links (disclosure).
What can be a better low-carb lunch than a chopped salad? In this chopped salad recipe, I use sausage slices for the protein (in addition to eggs)! If you are tired of eating salads with chicken breast, try using sausage instead, it will be a nice change :)
I use low-fat sausage, so the salad stays healthy. Fresh and crisp salad greens are mixed with chopped eggs, cucumbers and tomatoes, tossed with Italian dressing and topped with sausage slices. Yum!
I made this salad when I had one sausage left over from the last night’s dinner :) Those sausages were yummy low-fat Italian turkey sausages that were baked in the oven (see roasted Italian sausage recipe). If you don’t have any sausage leftovers, you can use pre-cooked deli sausages like Polish kielbasa!
