This unique light pizza is perfect for showcasing the freshest late-spring ingredients.

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small clove garlic (minced (about 1/2 teaspoon))
Pinch salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 pound 16 ounces of your favorite pizza crust dough
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes + more to taste if desired
Pinch kosher salt (or other coarse salt)
Cracked black pepper
4 ounces goat cheese (chèvre)
2 cups spicy mixed greens or baby arugula
5-6 radishes (sliced)
Grated Parmesan cheese if desired
If adding chicken to half
1/2 cup diced cooked chicken
If adding chicken to all
1 cup diced cooked chicken

Steps:

  • In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and salt and pepper. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if you wish.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Pull/press/roll pizza dough into an approximately 14-inch circle. Sprinkle a little flour on your baking surface (stone or baking sheet) and carefully transfer the dough.
  • Spoon the ricotta onto the dough and gently spread with a spoon, leaving 1/2-inch border around the edge of the pizza. Sprinkle the ricotta with the crushed red pepper flakes, a generous pinch of coarse salt, and the freshly ground pepper. Crumble the goat cheese and evenly sprinkle it over the top.
  • If adding chicken, spread it onto half or all.
  • Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, add the mixed greens and radishes to a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the top and toss.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with the greens and radishes.
  • Slice and serve. Pass grated Parmesan for topping, if desired.
