Herbed Salad Flatbread With Fig, Pecan Vinaigrette
- 1/2 whole grain pizza dough
- 1/2 cup smoked blue cheese, crumbled
- 6 dried figs, thinly sliced
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fig jam
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil
- 1 teaspoon aged balsamic vinegar
- 2 handfuls mixed greens and herbs*
- 1/2 cup toasted, ground pecans
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
- Divide dough in half, saving half for later. Allow dough to come to room temperature and roll out until it is very thin.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly across dough and put into oven until it all brown and bubbly. Rotate it halfway through and use a basting brush to brush the melted oils around the edge of the dough. If warm lettuce makes you squeamish, you can let it cool a bit.
- While flatbread is cooking, mix jam, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, s&p together and whisk in enough olive oil to form a good, thick emulsion. Stir in pecans. Toss greens, scallions and figs with enough dressing to thickly coat. Top pizza with greens and fresh black pepper.
- * there are great herb mixes at Whole Foods but I love using parsley, tarragon and dill for their fresh greeniness and a little arugula is great for a little bite. But most herb combinations work well. It also would not hurt to fold some paper thin slices of a fabulous salumi in there.
