1 ½ (142 g) pkg baby spinach

1 cup basmati rice

1 (113 g) pkg crumbled feta cheese

1 ½ English cucumbers

3 cloves garlic

1 small bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

3 lemons

8 pork sausages

3 red bell peppers

apple cider vinegar

black pepper

Dijon mustard

extra virgin olive oil

honey

Instructions

Using a strainer or colander, rinse the rice under cold, running water, then drain and transfer to a large pot. Add water and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Once the liquid comes to a boil, stir the mixture, add the sausages, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Cook the rice until the liquid is fully absorbed and sausages are cooked through, 15-18 minutes. Once done, remove from the heat and let stand, still covered, for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

Juice the lemons into a large salad bowl.

Shave parsley leaves off the stems; discard the stems and mince the leaves. Add to the bowl with the lemon juice.

Peel and mince the garlic; add to the bowl.

Add oil, Dijon, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper; whisk to combine the dressing.

Small dice the cucumbers; add to the bowl with the dressing.

Seed and small dice the bell peppers; add to the bowl.

When the rice is done, carefully remove the sausages. Allow them to cool slightly; cut lengthwise and then crosswise into thin half-moons.

Add sausage and rice to the bowl with the veggies and dressing. Toss to combine.

To serve, divide spinach between plates and top with sausage and rice salad. Sprinkle feta over top and enjoy!
