Greek Pizza

For Derek, the hardest part of any diet is giving up his favorite food group...pizza. He was thrilled to find this recipe in the book.

Ingredients
12-in whole wheat bread shell (Boboli*)
2 c whole, fresh baby spinach leaves
8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked & diced
1/2 c cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 c reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled
2 T walnuts or pine nuts, chopped
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried rosemary


Red Wine Vinaigrette
2 T red wine vinegar
1 T shallot, finely chopped
1.5 tsp Dijon mustard
2 T EVOO
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper


Directions

  1. Place crust on baking sheet (or stone).

  2. Top with ingredients.

  3. Drizzle red wine vinaigrette over pizza.

  4. Bake at 400F for 10-15 min or until heated through.


Red Wine Vinaigrette

  1. In small bowl, combine vinegar & shallot. Let stand 5 min.

  2. Whisk in mustard.

  3. Add oil in thin, steady stream, whisking constantly until combined.

  4. Whisk in salt & pepper.

  5. Use immediately or cover & chill up to 3 days. (If using chilled, allow it to come to room temperature--at least 30 min)


*When I was unable to find the Boboli crust, I made a whole wheat crust in the bread machine. Post comments for a recipe.
