This salad takes hearty sausages and potatoes and turns them into a healthy main-dish salad that’s loaded with veggies. Baby kale adds a touch of bitterness and crunch, while roasted red peppers balance the dish with sweetness. You could also use spicy sausage in place of sweet, and vary the greens if kale isn't your thing. Mustard greens would add another kind of heat to the dish, and baby spinach or escarole would be more neutral, middle-ground options. Consider broiling a double batch of sausage so you can add it to other dishes you're making for breakfast, lunch, or dinner during the week.
