Marinated Collard Green Salad With Sausage Over Gruyere Grits

• 1 cup grits
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 pound hot Italian sausage meat
• 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
• 2 scallions, whites and greens chopped and separated
• 1 bunch collard greens, stems discarded and leaves torn into 2-inch pieces
• 1 cup grated Gruyere

1. In a medium saucepan, combine grits and 3 cups water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until grits are tender, about 15 minutes.
2. While grits cook, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, stirring to crumble, until sausage is cooked through and browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove sausage from skillet. Reserve 2 tablespoons fat in skillet (discard any excess). Return skillet to medium heat.
3. Add scallion whites to hot fat and cook, stirring, until scallions have softened slightly, 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and whisk in cider vinegar. Place collards in a large bowl and pour warm dressing over greens. Use hands to crush dressing into greens until wilted, about 3 minutes. Season greens with salt and pepper, and stir in scallion greens.
4. Stir cheese into cooked grits and season with salt and pepper. Serve grits topped with collards and sausage.
