Provided by gwendee1

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 packed cup parsley leaves
1 packed cup basil leaves
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons water
All-purpose flour, for dusting
12 ounces whole-wheat pizza dough
Nonstick cooking spray
6 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
2 cups baby arugula
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Directions 1. Pulse parsley, basil, walnuts, Parmesan, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until finely chopped. With the motor running, add oil and 1 tablespoon water in a steady stream and process until smooth, thinning with additional water if necessary. Transfer pesto mixture to a small bowl. 2. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces and stretch or roll each piece into a thin 8-by-12-inch oval. 3. Lightly coat a grill with cooking spray, then heat to medium high. Place both pieces of dough on grill and cook until dark brown grill marks have formed, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, carefully flip and cook the other side until dry, about 2 minutes more or until dough easily releases from grill. 4. Transfer flatbreads to a large, clean work surface, darker side up. Spread 3 tablespoons pesto on each (refrigerate remainder for up to 3 days) and top with mozzarella and zucchini. Return to grill, cover and cook until cheese has melted and zucchini is cooked, 4 to 6 minutes. 5. Meanwhile, toss together arugula, lemon juice, remaining salt, and pepper. Top flatbreads with dressed arugula.
