This Radish Sausage Quinoa Salad is not only easy to pull together, but it doesn’t require any elaborate measurements either – and it is such a delightful combination of flavors and textures!
I’ve partnered with Eckrich to bring y’all this Radish Sausage Quinoa Salad, as always, all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep this blog spinning.
I love this Radish Sausage Quinoa Salad because of all the flavors and textures it has going on. There’s the ever so slightly caramelized, soft, onions, fresh ginger, crisp celery and crunchy radishes, soft and nutty quinoa and flavor-jammed Eckrich Jalapeno & Cheddar Smoked Sausage Links.
While my daughter and I love to have Eckrich Turkey Skinless Smoked Sausage Rope with eggs and avocado for breakfast or sliced up on flatbread for dinner, this was our first time trying Eckrich Jalapeno & Cheddar Smoked Sausage Links. The slight kick from the jalapeno as well as creamy cheddar in Eckrich Jalapeno & Cheddar Smoked Sausage did not disappoint. This was so flavorful that I opted not to use any of my usual spices when I used it in this simple Radish Sausage Quinoa Salad.
Just like these Easy Zucchini Sausage Flatbreads, this Radish Sausage Quinoa Salad is not only easy to pull together, but it doesn’t require any elaborate measurements either. I used roughly 3 celery stalks and about a half dozen radishes along with an onion, garlic, and a half cup or so of leftover cooked quinoa.
But you can use bell peppers, broccoli, and cous cous instead. Or, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and even black rice, if you wish. However, make sure you use an onion, some fresh ginger and fresh garlic and, the star of this Radish Sausage Quinoa Salad: Eckrich Jalapeno & Cheddar Smoked Sausage Links!
With sunny and warm evenings here in Georgia, it is hard to stay indoors. After work, I often join my daughter in taking our two dogs for long walks through our new neighborhood. Some evenings, I like puttering around in my new tiny yard. But, all that outdoor time after work leaves me with very little time to prepare dinner.
As I’d much rather throw something together than pick up take-out, I have been resorting to quick and easy dinners like those Zucchini Sausage Flatbreads and this Radish Sausage Quinoa Salad that don’t need a specific recipe and can be prepared with ingredients I have lying around.
Luckily, with Eckrich – no recipe is no problem! Crafted with just the right blend of spices for a rich, savory taste, and pre-cooked so all you have to do is heat and eat.
