Base Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, add the fennel sausage. Use a spatula to break it apart and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Mozzarella and Feta
Cube the mozzarella cheese into bite-sized pieces and crumble the feta cheese into small chunks.
Prepare the Arugula
Rinse the arugula leaves under cold water, then pat dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Assembly
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked fennel sausage, cubed mozzarella, crumbled feta, pickled red onion, and fresh arugula.
Toss the Salad
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well mixed. Be careful not to crush the mozzarella or feta too much.
Serve
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and serve immediately. Enjoy as a standalone dish or as a topping for crusty bread.
