Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and stretch each into an 8-inch round; brush each side with oil.
  • Grill dough until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side (it will puff up).
  • Dollop ricotta cheese on all four pizzas and top with grilled vegetables.
  • Meanwhile, prepare a salad with the arugula and radishes; toss with the vinegar, 2 tablespoons oil, salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle pizzas with additional oil and serve with the salad.
