New favorite salad alert!

This smoked sausage salad is made with a shredded cabbage base drizzled in an easy red wine vinegar. Then it’s topped with seared smoked sausage bites for the perfect protein. 

It’s super simple, fast and tastes really good!

Basic and tasty. I love it!

I’m always looking for new and fun ways to enjoy smoked sausage. Our favorite is smoked turkey sausage and I make it the most often. It’s easy and delicious, plus the kids think it tastes like… hot dogs.

They are not wrong! It’s the best. 

It’s like a grown up, elevated hot dog. Sort of. 

At least once a month, I make my smoked sausage and peppers. And in the warmer months, I love these grilled smoked sausage skewers. Soup too! My smoked sausage potato soup is incredibly delicious and cozy. 

All that’s left to do now? A salad. 

Of course.

This salad base is so incredibly crunchy and refreshing. And it’s because we’re shredding EVERY SINGLE INGREDIENT!

I use the finer side of a cheese grate and grate it all!

The cabbage. The red pepper, carrots and red onion. 

It’s like a chopped salad, but better! The cabbage is so crisp and crunchy, so hearty. And I love that it doesn’t wilt in an instant when the dressing is drizzled on top. Almost like kale, the cabbage gets better and better as it sits.

Now it can’t be totally drenched in a pool of dressing, but a nice coating of dressing will leave you with great leftovers! Still crunchy, flavorful salad to have the next day. That’s always a win.  (more…)
