Sausage Switcheroo: Buffalo Chicken Sausage Pasta Salad



 Summertime is finally upon us and with that comes a multitude of backyard barbecues, poolside parties and picnics at the park. Sure you old standards are burgers on the grill and maybe a few tuna fish sandwiches by why not pull a "Sausage Switcheroo" this summer! I teamed up with Farmer John to create a fresh and innovative recipe using their Hot Louisiana Brand Chicken Smoked Sausage in a tasty new way.

One of my favorite flavors recently has been that tangy taste of a hot wing, however when you're basking in the sun dawning that adorable new bikini, a chicken wing hanging out of your mouth is not the cutest accessory. I decided to take those flavors to create a Buffalo Chicken Sausage Pasta Salad. It's all the flavors of hot wings that you love, that tangy hot sauce, bleu cheese, cool carrots and crisp celery all tossed in a fresh Greek yogurt ranch dressing. See, I'm still keeping that bikini in mind!

Caprese Pasta Salad



It's no secret that one of my favorite ingredient combinations is fresh tomato, mozzarella and basil. Add a little balsamic glaze to that, and now we're in business! Oh, it's also a well known fact that I am a serious "pasta-holic", so when I was asked by The Mr. (last minute, of course) to whip up a dish for one of his office cookouts, I decided to stick to my faves!

This recipe can be put together in 30 minutes, tops. Yes, even including the pasta!
