Caesar Salad Italian Sausage

A simple, homemade caesar salad crowns hot grilled Italian sausage!

The refreshing salad and the warm sausage make an unforgettable pair!

I love Italian sausage. I crumble it on my pizza, but I also like to grill it up and then add a variety of fun toppings. However, this time, I thought the cool, creamy salad would perfectly compliment the hot grilled sausage. You know what? I was right!

You could serve the salad on the side, and it would still be utterly delicious. But do me a favor, try piling the salad on top of your sausage. There is something magical about tasting the creamy dressing, the fresh salad, the nutty Parmesan, and the smoky, grilled sausage all together. It will quickly become your favorite way to enjoy Italian sausage!

Sausages and Salad

The recipe here is basically what I used in this Caesar Salad with Shrimp and Quinoa recipe. Making salad with Italian sausage is insanely simple. It starts with romaine lettuce that is tossed with a homemade dressing made with mayo, water, lemon juice a little Worcestershire sauce, and Parmesan cheese.

With a homemade caesar salad that’s this easy to make you’ll never need to go out and buy it bottled again. one taste of this and you’ll be hooked.

FAQs

How long do sausages take to grill?

sausages usually take about 15 minutes or so to cook fully depending on whether or not you placed them over direct or indirect heat as well as getting it to the crispy and golden-colored skin that you look for on grilled sausages.

What are the ingredients in a Ceasar dressing?

the most common ingredients in a Ceasar salad dressing are eggs, oil, lemon, parmesan cheese, and anchovies. Instead of using anchovies though, we use Worcestershire sauce to get that fishy taste but without actual fish.

Does Worcestershire sauce have anchovies?

Yes, this sauce does contain anchovies along with other added ingredients like sugar, salt, molasses, and vinegar. Together the ingredients work together to create a sauce that can add a great depth of flavor in just about any recipe (including this homemade salad dressing!)
