Family Bites: Salad Greens with Andouille, Shrimp, and Honey Mustard Dressing



This is an excellent meal salad, featuring a flavorful combination of Andouille sausage, shrimp, and Newman's Own Light Honey Mustard Dressing.

Ingredients: (4-6 servings)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 smoked Andouille sausages, cut in small chunks (about 2 1/2 cups before frying)
24 shrimp, peeled and de-veined
Salt to taste
8 ounces mixed greens (seasonal)
2 tablespoons red onion, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
4-6 tablespoons Newman's Own Light Honey Mustard Dressing
1 orange, peeled, cleaned, and sliced in small chunks
2 tablespoons sliced roasted almonds
Additional Newman's Own Honey Mustard Dressing to taste

Directions:

Heat oil in a skillet on high heat. Add the sausage and cook for about two or three minutes, stirring frequently, until browned. Add shrimp and sauté for another few minutes, until the shrimp is cooked through.

In a large bowl, combine the greens, onion, parsley, and thyme. Toss with Honey Mustard Dressing. Divide the salad mixture among plates. Top with Andouille sausage, shrimp, and oranges. Sprinkle with almonds and drizzle additional dressing all over the salad.
