Ingredients

Total preparation time 25 minutes

12-ounce package cooked chicken sausage, preferably seasoned with herbs
6-ounce bunch arugula, rinsed and patted dry
8 1/2-ounce jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil and herbs
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut in small cubes
2/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted


Directions

Grill or pan-fry chicken sausage until browned. Set aside to cool slightly.

Coarsely chop arugula and spread on a large serving platter. Arrange sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella and pecans in alternating diagonal rows, leaving space for rows of sausage.

When sausage is cool enough to handle, slice crosswise into bite-size chunks; arrange on platter. Drizzle with your favorite Italian-style dressing and serve. Makes 6 servings.
