Sausage Bow Tie Salad
Light & Tasty


"I made this flavorful entree salad for a first date. My boyfriend like ti so much, he took the leftovers home—and his roommates rave about it, too!" notes Christina Campeau, Simi Valley, California. "For a change of pace, substitute turkey sausage for the kielbasa," she suggests.

SERVINGS: 9
CATEGORY: Lower Fat
METHOD:
TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Ingredients:
1 pound fully cooked reduced-fat kielbasa or Polish sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon water
1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 to 3 teaspoons fennel seed, crushed
5 cups cooked bow tie pasta
7 plum tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup minced fresh basil or 4 teaspoons dried basil
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

Directions:
In a large nonstick skillet, cook the sausage, onion, water and 3/4 teaspoon garlic over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the vinegar and fennel seed. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
    Stir in pasta until coated. Add the tomatoes, basil and remaining garlic; stir gently. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with feta cheese. Yield: 9 servings.

Re: Sausage Bow Tie Salad
This is a phenomenal salad! It looked a bit strange while cooking, so I was a bit nervous, but when I tasted the final product --WOW! A very unique taste and soooo good.
