Scale
For the Salad:
- 2 fully cooked Kielbasa sausages
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6–8 Mrs. T’s Garlic and Parmesan Pierogies
- 1 cup Birds Eye Green Beans
- 2 cups spring mix lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

For the Dressing:
- ½ cup Daisy Sour Cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, Dijon mustard, tarragon, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add a splash of water if the dressing is too thick. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Prepare the Sausages: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Slice the Kielbasa sausages and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the Pierogies: In the same skillet, add the pierogies and cook according to package directions until golden and heated through.
- Prepare the Eggs: Soft-boil the eggs by cooking them for 8-9 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool, then peel and set aside.
- Steam the Green Beans: Steam the green beans according to package instructions until tender.
- Assemble the Salad: Start with a bed of spring mix lettuce. Arrange the cooked pierogies, sautéed sausages, steamed green beans, halved cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and halved soft-boiled eggs on top.
- Dress and Serve: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and sprinkle with additional fresh tarragon if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and hearty salad!
