Instructions for
Spring Greens Salad with Kumquats and Fennel Sausage
Make the Sausage
In a medium mixing bowl stir together the seasoning and then add the ground beef. Mix with hands until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. With lightly oiled hands, gently roll mixture into 18 golf ball-size meatballs and then flatten slightly.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat. Cook on each side 4-5 minutes, until cooked through. Set aside to rest.
Make the Salad
On a large serving platter, arrange greens/lettuces, kumquats, and radishes. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil.
Bring it All Together
Add the cooked sausage to the salad platter, tucking between greens. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
