Salads are highly versatile dishes in which you can innovate and try as many different things as you can think of. It’s a fresh, light dish and a perfect option to maintain a balanced diet since most of its ingredients are eaten raw. Additionally, you can combine flavors, textures, and aromas by incorporating all the products you like. Next, we present a very original variant that usually surprises those who try it: zucchini and sausage salad.
- Wash the zucchini and carrot well, peel them, and cut them into thin slices. A tip for doing this is to use a peeler to make the slices so that they are all the same.
- Cut the onion into strips. You have probably cut an onion before and noticed that it makes you cry. To avoid this, slightly stick out your tongue while cutting it. This way, the onion’s acid will adhere to your tongue first and won’t reach your eyes.
- Cut the cheese into cubes and season it with a bit of oregano.
- Now, cut the Ventulà sausage into small cubes. For this type of recipe, it’s important to choose high-quality sausage with low additives. In this case, Ventulà sausage is made traditionally and artisanally, making the meat quality exceptional and giving a unique flavor to any dish.
- In a bowl, mix the zucchini, carrot, Ventulà sausage, and cheese.
- To prepare the vinaigrette, mix three parts extra virgin olive oil to one part apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in another bowl. Add a bit of chopped fresh basil to this mixture for an extra touch of freshness.
- Dress the salad, set the table, and enjoy!
To complete the salad, you can add some sesame seeds or chopped nuts, which will give it a very pleasant crunchy touch if you like. You can also substitute the fresh cheese or mozzarella with feta cheese, although it has a somewhat stronger flavor. But, as you know, you can create your own version of this zucchini and sausage salad recipe, adapting it to your tastes.
