Preparation

Step 1

Heat grill to medium-high. With a fork, prick the sausages in several places. Grill, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 10-12 minutes.
Meanwhile, brush the tomatoes and onion with 1 T of the oil and season with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Grill until tender, 5-6 minutes per side for the onion and 2-3 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, whish together the vinegar, mustard, the remaining 3 T of oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Slice the sausages and serve with the vegetables and dressing.
