Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Peel and mince garlic. Divide between two medium bowls, then set one bowl aside for later use.

Add vinegar, sugar, and spices to the remaining bowl with the garlic. Whisk to combine the pickling liquid.

Trim and small dice celery. Add to the bowl with pickling liquid.

Peel, trim, and small dice carrots. Add to the bowl.

Thinly slice chili peppers into rings; seed and remove ribs with a spoon to reduce spice level. Add to the bowl. (Be careful with chilis; do not touch your eyes and ensure you wash your hands after handling or wear gloves while preparing.)

Roughly chop olives. Add to the bowl, along with capers, and stir to combine the relish. Set aside.

Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or regular skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the pan is hot, coat with oil; add sausages and grill, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, zest and juice lemons into the reserved bowl with the garlic. Add mayo, salt, and pepper, then whisk to combine the dressing.

Halve grape tomatoes. Add to the bowl with the dressing.

Pick basil leaves off the stems; discard stems and roughly chop or tear the leaves. Add to the bowl.

Cut or tear mozzarella into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl and stir to combine the salad.

To serve, divide salad and sausage between plates. Top sausage with relish and enjoy!
