Made it for a New Year's supper. Everyone loved it - 01 Jan 2013
This salad made a wonderful light Sunday night fall supper served with a nice crusty bread. The only change I made was to add just a touch of honey to the dressing. Very good! - 14 Oct 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I love this salad. I make it for dinner almost every week scaled down for two people. The only thing I do differently is saute the onion for a couple of minutes with the sausage. Thanks! - 29 Sep 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
