Sausage Potato Salad – a welcome summer dish

A perfect, quick meal for summer dinners. This Potato and Sausage Salad can be served warm or at room temperature. It tastes even better made a day ahead.   The potatoes absorb more of the sauce.   Make it in advance, pour a glass of wine and relax and enjoy. If making the salad ahead, store in a refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving.   Add the lettuce and tomatoes just before serving. Most supermarkets carry several types of low-fat turkey sausages.   Look for ones that also have a low salt content and plenty of herbs or spices for flavor.   Use the balsamic vinegar dressing in the recipe of buy a reduced-fat one and cut your preparation time.

  • Any type of canned beans can be used.
