Be transported to your favorite Italian countryside with a little help from Johnsonville! This traditional Italian dish is already great by itself: crisp bread flavored with garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tomatoes, salt and pepper. What makes this dish truly memorable is the use of Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage Slices. The Italian seasonings of the sausage really make the flavors come together for a fantastic, authentic taste.
