Ingredients

• 4 4-ounce Italian sausages
• 8 plum tomatoes, cut in half crosswise
• 1 onion, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rings
• 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 8 cups baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard

Preparation

Step 1

Heat grill to medium-high. With a fork, prick the sausages in several places. Grill, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, brush the tomatoes and onion with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Grill until tender, 5 to 6 minutes per side for the onion and 2 to 3 minutes per side for the tomatoes. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl as they are done, add the spinach, and toss.

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, the remaining 3 tablespoons of the oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Slice the sausages and serve with the vegetables and dressing.
