Grilled Pizza Topped With Fresh Arugula
- 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 dash Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 cups Olive Oil (you Will Have Some Left Over)
- 16 ounces, weight Fresh Baby Arugula
- 1/2 cups Thin Shavings Of Parmesan Cheese
- 2 whole Ripe Tomatoes
- 1 pound Fresh Pizza Dough
- Feel free to use whatever toppings you like, just remember to keep the toppings and cheese layers thin and light.
- The dough cooks pretty quickly on the hot grill, so keeping it light ensures your toppings will heat through and the cheese will melt.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heatmy grill usually reads 400-450 degrees.
- (Optional: coat grill grates with olive oil or non-stick spray prior to heating.)
- Make a quick vinaigrette by whisking together the vinegar and mustard, then streaming in 2-3 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Add a few pinches of salt if desired.
- Toss the arugula with the vinaigrette and set aside.
- Thinly shave the cheese until you have about 1/2 cup of shavings and set aside.
- Thinly slice the tomatoes and set aside.
- Divide the dough in half and roll each half out thinly (approximately 16 diameter).
- I usually just use olive oil instead of flour to prevent the dough from sticking, and just roll out each half on a large cookie sheet covered with foil, so I can roll it out and then carry it to the grill and not have to clean my counters).
- Brush each pizza round with olive oil to prevent sticking to the grill.
- Bring your dough and all of your to-be-cooked toppings over to the grill.
- Place the dough oil-side-down on the grill and cover.
- Cook until the dough bubbles and the bottom is lightly browned.
- Brush dough with a little bit of oil and flip.
- Working very quickly, top the dough with the shaved parmesan, then the tomatoes.
- Cover and cook until the bottom is lightly browned.
- Remove pizza from heat and top with arugula.
- Shave some fresh parmesan over the top.
- Cut each pizza into quarters (or dont, if you are a pig like me and can eat a whole pie).
- Serve immediately.
- Great with beer or wine.
- Or both.
