Chorizo Salad

Submitted by Sackville

"A salad that can be a main meal as easily as a side dish. If you have potatoes leftover, it's very quick to make. You can also speed things up by purchasing jars of roasted peppers, rather than roasting them yourself."

I'm a new convert to chorizo, and always looking for ways to use it-this was a good one, simple and delicious. We used the jarred peppers which I love, and lightly blanched, julienned snow peas instead of beans (which I loathe). The snow peas were good, and added nice colour and texture. Note in step 1, the chorizo should be removed from the pan-something we didn't do, so we couldn't really brown the potatoes or the chorizo would burn. That didn't affect the wonderful flavour a bit though.
