Sweet Sausage, Sweet Pepper Frittata

Frittatas are fun to make, but this one goes beyond the norm. It’s topped with fresh arugula, red onion and a splash of vinaigrette! Preparing the whole dish with canola oil, which has the least saturated fat of all common culinary oils, helps keep it good for you, too.
