On the menu tonight – Salad Pizza with Sun Dried Tomato Dressing!
I wasn’t sure what I would think about this when I first saw it. However, once I made it and tried it, I’m sure glad I did because it’s DELICIOUS!
Instead of making the dough, you are certainly welcome to, I took a shortcut and used a prepared flatbread. I drizzled some olive oil on it along with oregano and Parmesan cheese, then baked it at 475 for about 10 minutes.
While the crust was baking, I made the dressing. In a food processor, I blitzed the sun dried tomatoes, a clove of garlic, some salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Then, drizzle in the olive oil and now your dressing is finished.
Chop the lettuce in to bite-sized pieces and toss with the dressing and some mozzarella cheese. Once the crust has cooled enough, spread the dressed salad on the crust and serve.
