Spicy Sausage, Tomato, and Avocado Salad

This salad is wonderfully light and fresh, with ripe, perfumed tomatoes, buttery smoothness from the avocado, and a spicy heat from very thinly sliced red onion and jalapeño. What makes this salad even more substantial is the spicy chicken sausage tucked among these veggies.
