How to make Sausage & Strawberry Balsamic Pasta Salad:
1. Cook the sausage according to the instructions on the packaging. When the sausage is finished cooking, cut each link lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. The pieces should resemble crescent moons.

3. Make the dressing. In a bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, black pepper, garlic and dried basil. Whisk the dressing until it’s well-combined.
4. Pour the dressing into the serving bowl. Stir and toss the pasta salad until the ingredients are evenly coated in the dressing.
5. Serve immediately, or cover it and keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it.
