  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese, part skim
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 1/2 cup fresh peeled apples, sliced

Instructions

  1. Mix the pumpkin, ricotta, cumin, lemon juice and pepper together well. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, toss the arugula with the orange juice and the apple slices. Set aside.
  3. Brush both sides of the sourdough slices with olive oil and grill on a hot grill, griddle or panini press until toasted.

Because pumpkin is so rich in beta carotene it is known to support vision. Pumpkins have been a part of American cuisine for centuries.
