This isn’t your boring side salad! This salad idea from Johnsonville is packed with great flavors and textures while still being health-conscious. Crips romaine lettuce, spinach, bell peppers and beans can be a great mix by itself, but once you add in Johnsonville Smoked Sausage, you’ve got a great salad that’ll actually fill you up.
