Summer Italian Salad

by Kim
(Phoenix Arizona)

I had mushrooms in fridge, had eggplant in fridge and some Chicken Breast but not much else.

Company coming from out of town heading over to see us from airport and I wanted to throw together something without heating up the house, threw the eggplant, chicken and mushrooms on the grill.

Went to store to pick up a few more items and Italian sausage was on sale so came up with this salad idea. You can cook everything outside on the grill and serve the salad with a nice loaf of Italian Bread and a glass of red wine. Makes a perfect dinner on a hot Summer Phoenix Day!
