This recipe uses an already prepared pizza crust. You can use a fresh or frozen dough or make your own. Everything grills quickly so this can be made in less than half an hour. From Real Simple magazine. Ingredients:
2 summer squash (about 1 lb) or 2 zucchini, sliced thin lengthwise (about 1 lb) |
2 bunches green onions |
6 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for serving) |
kosher salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
1 lb pizza dough, room temperature |
15 ounces ricotta cheese |
6 cups arugula, thick stems trimmed |
4 radishes, halved and sliced thin |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
Directions:
1. Preheat grill (or indoor grill pan) to medium heat; use a large baking dish and toss squash and green onions with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper.
2. Grill vegetables until cooked through - 4-6 minutes/side for squash and 1-2 minutes/side for the onions; cut up onions and return vegetables to the baking dish.
3. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and stretch each into an 8-inch round; brush each side with oil.
4. Grill dough until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side (it will puff up).
5. Dollop ricotta cheese on all four pizzas and top with grilled vegetables.
6. Meanwhile, prepare a salad with the arugula and radishes; toss with the vinegar, 2 tablespoons oil, salt and pepper.
7. Drizzle pizzas with additional oil and serve with the salad.
