Sausage, Apple & Goat Cheese Pita Pizza with Arugula-Cucumber SaladSausage, Apple & Goat Cheese Pita Pizza with Arugula-Cucumber Salad — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 13 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ (142 g) pkg baby arugula

1 ½ English cucumbers

1 small pkg fresh basil

3 Gala apples

1 ½ (113 g) logs goat cheese

1 ½ lemons

6 pork sausages

6 whole grain pitas

black pepper

Dijon mustard

extra virgin olive oil

honey

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom; add sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, divide pitas between two baking sheet pans. Place in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and bake, flipping halfway through, until slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.

While the pitas bake, wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the arugula if it came pre-washed.)

Quarter, core, and thinly slice apples.

When the sausages are done, transfer to a cutting board and slice crosswise into thin rounds.

Layer baked pitas with apple and sausage slices, then crumble goat cheese over top. Working in batches if necessary, return baking sheets to the oven and bake until warmed through and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, juice lemons into a large bowl; add oil, Dijon, honey, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine the dressing.

Trim, halve, and slice cucumbers into thin half-moons. Add to the bowl with the dressing, along with the arugula, and toss to combine the salad.

Pick basil leaves off the stems, roll up crosswise, and thinly slice into ribbons.

Divide pita pizzas between plates and sprinkle with basil. Serve with salad on the side and enjoy!
