Sausage, Apple & Goat Cheese Pita Pizza with Arugula-Cucumber Salad

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F and set a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Cook the sausages in the dry skillet, turning until browned and cooked through, about 10–15 minutes; remove from heat when done.
3. Arrange pitas on a baking sheet and place them in the oven until the edges look a little crisp, about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
4. While the pitas bake, rinse and dry all produce.
5. Quarter, core, and thinly slice the apple.
6. When the sausages are ready, slice them crosswise into thin rounds.
7. Top each pita with the apple slices and sausage rounds, then crumble goat cheese over the toppings.
8. Return the sheet to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and everything is warmed through, about 5 minutes.
9. Juice the lemon into a bowl, whisk in olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to form a dressing.
10. Toss the cucumber with the dressing and add arugula; toss to coat the greens evenly.
11. Tear basil leaves from the stems, roll them together, and slice into thin ribbons.
12. Divide the pitas between plates, sprinkle with basil ribbons, and serve with the salad on the side.
