Chicken Sausage Panzanella (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

Hello everyone, welcome to my latest recipe for Gluten and Dairy Free Chicken Sausage Panzanella. The last couple of lunch ideas that I’ve shared with you seem to have been for soup so I thought I would try and post something a bit different this time. Although I must admit to having a draft recipe for a beautiful veggie curry soup ready to go next week.

If can’t find chicken sausages then fresh chicken cut into chunks will also work perfectly well in this recipe. If you are preparing it in advance remember not to add in the dressing until you are ready to enjoy your salad.
