Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1/3 to 1/2 cup bottled Italian salad dressing
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    12 oz. cooked Polish sausage links, halved lengthwise, sliced diagonally (I use chicken sausage)
    3 small yellow summer squash and/or zucchini, quartered lengthwise
    4 wedges Italian flat bread, split
    1/4 cup sliced green onions
    Fresh oregano leaves
    1/4 cup coarsely shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Preheat broiler. In small bowl combine dressing and garlic. In extra-large skillet cook sausage and squash in 2 tablespoons of the dressing mixture for 8 to 10 minutes or until sausage is heated through and squash is almost tender, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, place bread on broiler pan; brush with 1 tablespoon of the dressing mixture. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly toasted.
Serve sausage and squash with toasted bread. Drizzle remaining dressing; sprinkle green onions and oregano. Pass Parmesan cheese. Serves 4.
