This smoked sausage salad is delicious! Refreshing and crunchy cabbage slaw with red onion, red pepper and carrots, drizzled in a perfect vinaigrette. It's topped with seared smoked sausage rounds for the ultimate flavor pop!
Ingredients
- 1 small head of cabbage, grated (about 4 to 5 cups)
- 2 carrots, peeled and grated
- 1 red bell pepper, grated
- ½ red onion, grated
- 14 ounce package smoked sausage
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt and pepper
- smoked paprika and garlic powder
dressing
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced or pressed
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- kosher salt and pepper
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Place the grated cabbage in a large bowl. Top with the carrots, peppers and red onion.
- Slice the sausage into rounds. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the sausage all over with smoked paprika and garlic powder, as well as a small pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add the sausage to the skillet and sear on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes a side. You want the sausage to have golden crisp edges and be warmed through.
- Drizzle the dressing on the cabbage mixture and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the mixture together.
- Serve the cabbage salad with the sausage on top!
dressing
- Whisk together the vinegar, garlic, honey, dijon, pepper flakes and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified.
