Southwestern Salad with Grilled Sausages

Cooking time:  20 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

      I used red quinoa in this, but black or tan will work equally well.  I like the health benefits of quinoa and the texture it adds to salads. We use the rest of the beans from Monday,

Southwestern Salad with Grilled Sausages

Total time: 20 minutes
     The quinoa, corn, beans and peppers give this salad a 'southwestern' flavor.  The oregano, Greek olives and feta a Mediterranean flavor. An eclectic Salad!  It's equally good with turkey, chicken or sausages!
