Smoked Sausage Creamy Macaroni Salad

If your a meat eater, and want to have a "salad" this is the perfect compromise. You can tell people that you are eating a salad, cause hey, it has a "dressing." Home made pictures, no photo shopping in this fat man's kitchen.



1.5 cups of Macaroni, dry

5 slices bacon, cooked, diced

1 avocado, diced (don't eat the seed that will hurt your teeth)

7oz. (half a package) smoked sausage, flavor or your choice


DRESSING

3/4 cup Mayo

1/4 cup lemon juice

zest of 1 lemon

1 Tbs sugar

1/4 cup olive oil


Timing is key with most recipes so keep that in mind when cooking. Cook pasta in boiling water until your preferred "bite" is reached. I find that cooking bacon in the skillet adds more crispiness and flavor and searing off the smoked sausage in the bacon fat is a flavor from heaven. So cook bacon in skillet until nice and crispy, remove and add diced up sausage pieces. Since already cooked, just sear and bring out the flavor. Set meats aside on paper towel for absorb grease while making dressing and and finishing pasta cooking.

For dressing combine mayo, lemon juice, zest and sugar, in food processor until the mixture is creamy and sugar has been dissolved. Once that is combined, stream in oil (with machine running) until the dressing has reached your level of "creaminess."

Combine pasta, meats, and avocado in large bowl, cover with dressing you have just made and stir to combine. Season to taste.  Then what you wanna do is divide into bowls and strap on the ol' feed bag. This is suppose to feed 4 people, but this fatty and his wife took it down in 2 servings.

On a scale of 1-5 fat rolls, this received 5 fat rolls.
