Chickpea & Tomato Salad and Easy Sausage Pizza with Naan


Make-your-own-pizza was on the menu tonight.  The family was so excited... until they asked for the meat portion of the pizzas.  Sausage... pepperoni... nada.  Then I remembered, I bought an extra package of pre-cooked breakfast sausage for a different meal.  The pre-cooked sausages are easy to cut when frozen and are the perfect size for pizza topping!  

Quick and easy meals can be nutritious.  Chickpea and Tomato Salad provides a healthy dose of fiber with the chickpeas.  And the fresh basil and tomatoes adds a taste of summer you will savor.  


Chickpea and Tomato Salad
Serve 4

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
16 ounces grape tomatoes, halved
20 large basil leaves, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
Pinch of salt
Fresh ground black pepper to taste

In a large bowl, toss all ingredients together.  Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 20 minutes before serving.



Easy Sausage Pizza with Naan
Serves 6

1 package (6 count) whole wheat Naan
8 ounces pizza sauce
1 package (10 links) pre-cooked breakfast sausage, sliced
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup fresh chopped basil
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
12 slices fresh mozzarella

Preheat oven to 425 degrees (see how to make your own pizza oven).  On one slice of Naan, spread a portion of the pizza sauce.  Top with sausage, mushrooms, fresh basil, and tomatoes.  Lay two slices of mozzarella over the top.  

Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.
