The first is a very boyfriend approved Italian Sub Salad! Everything you love about an Italian Sub, but on a bed of greens instead of two buns. I grilled Western Daughter's hot and sweet sausages for this salad. Please check your labels when buying any protein, but especially sausages!

You’ll also see a recipe for my Very Basic Pickled Red Onions (love this recipe bc it’s quick and you can elevate it based on spices you probably already have) and my Italian Dressing. Dressing is SO EASY to make and the flavor is a thousand times better than jarred.
