Like a lot of you, I follow a number of food blogs. This past week I saw a blog post by Katie of Thyme for Cooking which intrigued me.
With the weather so hot, I am always looking for cool things to fix for dinner - something that can be cooked on the BBQ. Salads are always a good option too to keep the house cool.
Well, this recipe combined both of those characteristics - a cool salad with meat and potatoes prepared on the BBQ instead of in the oven. Yay!
Here is Katie's recipe for Salad with Sausages, Potatoes and Chevre.
Per the recipe, we BBQ-d both the sausages (I used Italian sweet sausage from TJ's) and the potatoes (cut into bitesize pieces, tossed in olive oil, and roasted on a cookie sheet). While still warm, they were tossed with the lettuce, dressing and the chevre. The warm items helped melt the chevre so that the dressing became creamy and decadent. Totally wonderful! I added a little sliced yellow squash for color.
