Tricolor Salad Pizzas Recipes

TRICOLOR-SALAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450° with a pizza stone or baking sheet set on a rack in lowest position. Drizzle 3 tablespoons oil onto a rimmed quarter-sheet pan (9 by 12 1/2 inches). Stretch dough to edges of pan. Drizzle evenly with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Top with mozzarella, leaving a 1/2-inch border, then tomatoes, cut-sides up.
• Bake in pan on stone until bubbly and crust is golden brown and set on bottom, 20 to 22 minutes. Sprinkle generously with Parmigiano. Whisk together vinegar, oregano, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Toss with fennel, radicchio, and arugula to evenly coat. Top pizza with salad; serve immediately with more Parmigiano.

TRI-COLOR PASTA SALAD

• Toss cooled pasta with cheese, broccoli and Italian-style dressing to taste. Serve immediately.

TRICOLORE PIZZA WITH BASIL OIL

Steps:

• Heat oven to its highest setting, about 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Tip the bread mix into a large bowl, pour over 125ml lukewarm water and 1 tbsp olive oil, then mix well to a sticky dough. Knead for a few mins, using some of the extra dry mix to stop it sticking. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for 15 mins.
• While the dough is rising, put the remaining oil in a small blender with most of the basil, then whizz until the leaves are finely chopped. Toss the avocado in the lemon juice, then tear the mozzarella into rough pieces. 3 Using a little more of the dry bread mix to help you, roll and stretch the dough out to a rough 25 x 30cm rectangle on a large baking sheet. Brush over the basil oil, scatter with the mozzarella and tomato slices, then bake for 10-12 mins until the base is crisp and the cheese melted. To serve, scatter with the avocado slices and remaining basil leaves, then season with freshly ground

TRICOLOR BOBOLI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced red onions and sliced red bell peppers and sauté until beginning to brown, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Let onion mixture stand at room temperature.)
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Place Boboli on pizza pans or cookie sheets. Spread each Boboli with half of olive paste. Top each with half of onion mixture. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese. Bake until cheese softens, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with chopped fresh oregano and toasted pine nuts. Cut pizzas into wedges and serve.
• *An olive spread available at Italian markets and specialty foods stores. If unavailable, use pureed, pitted, brine-cured black olives.
