Italian Mixed Salad

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 12 ounces turkey sausage, casings removed
• 1/2 head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1/2 head butter lettuce, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1/4 head iceberg lettuce, cut into bite-size pieces
• 2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
• 6 ounces Provolone, cubed
• 3/4 cup rinsed canned red kidney beans, patted dry
• 3/4 cup rinsed canned garbanzo beans, patted dry
• Red Wine Vinaigrette, recipe follows
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat the oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook

until brown and cooked through, breaking the sausage into bite-size pieces, about 5 to 8

minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate. Cool to room temperature.

Chop and combine the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and cooked sausage in a large bowl. Add beans and enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad with salt and pepper, to

taste, and serve.
