Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 °F (218°C). While the oven is heating, prep ingredients.
  • Prep the vegetables for the pizza pockets per instruction above.
  • Cook the sausage: Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the oil, onion, and pepper. Saute until softened. Add the sausage and break into smaller pieces using a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Set aside.
  • Cut a piece of parchment paper and place on a baking sheet.
  • Make the pizza pockets: Roll out pizza dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into large rectangles that will easily fold over, about 8 x 6 inches. On one half of the rectangle, spread a bit of marinara sauce, cheese, sausage with onion and pepper, oregano, and pepper flakes, leaving space around the edges for the dough to touch together.
  • Seal all edges, using a bit of water if necessary and crimping with a fork. Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until the dough is crisp and golden. While the pizza pockets are baking, make the salad and beverage.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Put the oil, vinegar, Italian seasoning, sugar and some salt and pepper in a jar with a lid, secure the lid and shake to combine.
  • Make the salad: Prep the salad ingredients per instruction above. Add to a bowl.
  • For the beverage: Mix all ingredients together.
  • When the pizza pockets are baked, set aside for 5 minutes to set.
  • Serve: Transfer the pizza pockets to a plate, dress the salad, and enjoy with the beverage (over ice if desired).
