Ensalada de Salchicha y Tomate (Sliced Sausage and Tomato Salad)
Sliced Sausage and Tomato Salad is a quick, vibrant meal packed with flavor and nutrition, making it perfect for tonight's dinner!
Begin by slicing the sausage into bite-sized pieces. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sliced sausage for about 5 to 7 minutes, until they are browned and heated through. Once done, set them aside to cool slightly.
While the sausage is cooking, chop the tomatoes into wedges, dice the red onion, and chop the bell pepper. Place these chopped vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
Once the sausage has cooled, add it to the bowl of chopped vegetables.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together thoroughly to ensure even coating.
Let the salad rest for about 5 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
