Warm Spinach and Sausage Salad image

From the February/March 2006 issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine. This is a simple salad that works as a main course for lunch, dinner or even breakfast. The magazine says that runny eggs make a richer dressing, but this salad tastes great with scrambled or hard-boiled eggs. I love the lemon-tang of the dressing.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces bulk pork sausage
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 ounces Baby Spinach
coarse salt
fresh ground pepper
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until crumbly and crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the sausage to a bowl with a slotted spoon and return the skillet to the stove.
  • Add the olive oil, zest and juice to the pan and, over medium-high heat, stir the mixture with a wooden spoon, scraping up any brown bits, for about 1 minute.
  • Remove pan from the heat.
  • Add the spinach and use tongs to coat the leaves with the dressing.
  • Sprinkle the salad generously with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the spinach evenly among 4 bowls and top with the crumbled sausage.
  • Wipe the nonstick skillet clean with a paper towel and fry each egg over easy.
  • Top each salad with a fried egg and serve.
