Bacon-Blackberry Pita Pizza with Basil, Tomato & Peach SaladBacon-Blackberry Pita Pizza with Basil, Tomato & Peach Salad — a 35-minute dinner recipe with 14 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

12 slices bacon

3 (170 g) pkgs blackberries

1 small pkg fresh basil

1 (227 g) block mozzarella cheese

3 peaches

1 shallot

6 tomatoes

6 whole grain pitas

black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

garlic powder

honey

salt

white wine vinegar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).

Medium dice bacon.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5-6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove crispy bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce.

Place blackberries in a medium bowl along with spices, then gently crush with a fork or potato masher. Set blackberry sauce aside.

Coarsely grate cheese.

Divide pitas between two baking sheet pans. Spread blackberry sauce over each pita (leaving a ½-inch border around the edge), then top with cheese and crispy bacon.

Place pizzas in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and bake until the pitas are crisp and cheese is melted, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, using a clean cutting board, peel and mince shallot. Place in another medium bowl along with oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine the dressing.

Halve tomatoes lengthwise, then cut into ½-inch thick wedges. Add to the bowl with the dressing.

Quarter peaches lengthwise (around the pit); twist quarters to separate, then remove and discard pits. Slice each quarter into ½-inch thick wedges. Add to the bowl.

Pick basil leaves off the stems, roll up crosswise, and thinly slice into ribbons. Add to the bowl and stir to combine the salad (reserving a small handful for the pizzas).

When the pizzas are done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with reserved basil; cut into wedges.

To serve, divide pizzas and salad between plates. Enjoy!
