Chicken Sausage Pasta Salad
So I thought I'd start off with this pasta salad that I created. It's Mediterranean diet friendly, but filling and satisfying. It's pretty simple too, and the sauce used is versatile and can be used on many Mediterranean-style dishes. Ingredients (two hearty servings): 6 ounces of whole wheat pasta 2 links of chicken sausage (I used apple chicken sausage), sliced 1/2 cup of feta crumbles 2 green onions, sliced 1/2 cup artichoke hearts, sliced 3 Tbsp olive oil 1 Tbsp lemon juice Salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano (to taste) Start by preparing the pasta and warming up the sausage slices according to the package. In a medium bowl, mix the feta, artichokes, and green onion. In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, and spices, to taste. You don't need a lot of salt. Once the pasta is down, rinse to cool, and add to the bowl. Add the cooked sausage and sauce and toss to coat. Makes 2 servings.
