Blue Ribbon Recipe by

This healthy dish is very versatile and easy to throw together. The meat can be changed to any kind of sausage and kale would work for the greens. I like it mild but it can be made with a kick depending on the type of Cajun seasoning you choose. You will be amazed at the beautiful presentation. The colors are so vibrant!

What a vibrant dinner. The aroma from the Italian sausage cooking and the seasonings was amazing. I couldn't wait to taste a bite. It's got a kick of Cajun seasoning I particularly enjoyed. This recipe is healthy and easy to make. A win-win!
