Radish Sausage Quinoa Salad

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. Eckrich Naturally Hardwood Smoked Sausage can be paired with whatever you have on-hand in the fridge or pantry for a fast, fool-proof meal like this Radish Sausage Quinoa Salad that your family and friends are sure to love.

Plus, with a variety of delicious flavors and forms including Original Skinless Smoked Sausage Rope, Polska Kielbasa Skinless Smoked Sausage Rope, Turkey Skinless Smoked Sausage Rope, Cheddar Smoked Sausage Links, and Jalapeno & Cheddar Smoked Sausage Links, Eckrich Smoked Sausage is so versatile and simple to cook with, you can whip up a delicious, home-cooked breakfast, lunch or dinner at a moment’s notice – no instructions (or plan) needed.

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!

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 red onion chopped
• 4 cloves garlic chopped
• 6-7 radishes washed and sliced
• 3 stalks celery washed and sliced too
• 1/2 cup quinoa cooked
• Eckrich Jalapeno & Cheddar Smoked Sausage Links
• pepper
• 1/2 lime

Instructions

• Add olive oil to a pan and when the oil is slightly warm, add in the onions and saute about 10 minutes, stirring often.
• While onions are sauteing, wash and slice radishes and celery.
• Slice Eckrich Jalapeno & Cheddar Smoked Sausage. When the onions are translucent around the 10 minute mark, push the onions to the side of the pan with your spatula and add in the sliced Eckrich Jalapeno & Cheddar Smoked Sausage Links. Let sausage slices brown for about 3 minutes, then flip and let saute another 3 minutes.
• Add in the radishes and celery as well as garlic and stir well. Let saute about 2-3 minutes so veggies stay crispy.
• Add in the cooked quinoa and stir well until all ingredients are well incorporated.
• Season with pepper, squeeze a bit of lime onto quinoa and sausage mix and enjoy with a cucumber salad.
