Bison Sausage, Apple and Sage Strata

  5.0 – 1 reviews  

Green bean and asparagus salad that is quite good. The idea came to me when I couldn’t decide between two vegetables for a side dish. The vegetables’ wonderful flavor is enhanced by roasting, while cherry tomatoes, onion, and fresh parsley offer a lovely color.

This was tasty. I was unable to find bison sausage, so I used ground bison and added some spices. Next time I will add more.. unless I can find the sausage
