The Protein
8 small sausage links, think keilbasa or German Sausage similar to hot dogs. (not breakfast sausage links)OR this would be good with pork chops or pork tenderloin or salmon
olive oil
Heat a grill, grill pan or skillet to medium high heat. Coat sausage links with olive oil and cook, covered, turning occasionally, until just cooked through, 10-12 min.
The Salad
2 T. fresh lemon juice2 T. olive oil
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp pepper (I would reduce this to 1/8 tsp. we don't like that much pepper)
Add 1/2 small fennel bulb, cored and thinly sliced
1 orange, cut into 1/2 in. pieces
15 oz. can lentils rinsed (or 1 1/2 cups cooked in 4 1/2 cups water for 25-30 min. or until tender)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
In a bowl, whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, dijon mustard, and salt and pepper. Add the fennel, orange, lentils, scallions, and spinach. Toss to combine.
Tip: you could also try this with rice.
Serve with the sausages or other protein choice.
