1. Make the Mustard Dip

   Time: PT5M

2. Prep the Sausage

   Slice the chicken apple sausage into 1/4‑inch rounds. If you like it warm, microwave the slices for 30‑45 seconds or briefly pan‑sear in a hot skillet.

   Temperature: 350°F

3. Slice and Portion Produce & Extras

   Using the cutting board and chef's knife, slice the radish into coins, cucumber into half‑moons, green apple into thin wedges, and strawberries into quarters.
