Ingredients

1 pizza

1 pound pre-made pizza dough
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup kalamata olives
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup feta cheese (divided)
1 cup arugula
1/4 cup cucumber (diced)
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
Oregano and crushed red pepper flakes for for garnish
Fresh parsley for garnish

For the dressing:

1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Method

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll the dough on a cutting board and shape into a round pizza. Place the pizza dough on a baking tray and brush with the olive oil.
2
Drizzle the olive oil over the dough then sprinkle the oregano over the olive oil. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the pizza. Top with the olives, sun-dried tomatoes and 1/2 cup feta cheese.
3
Bake pizzas individually until the crust is golden and the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 10 minutes (the time will be significantly less if you’re using a baking stone).
4
While the pizza cooks combine the arugula, cucumber, tomatoes, 1/2 cup of feta cheese and red onion in a medium mixing bowl. In a mason jar mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper and whisk until mixed.
5
Toss the arugula salad mixture in 2 tbsps. Greek dressing and toss. Add more dressing as needed. Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and top with the Greek salad.
6
Sprinkle oregano and crushed red pepper on the pizza. You can also drizzle with a balsamic glaze for extra flavor. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

You can add a variety of other ingredients like artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, chickpeas, goat cheese, fresh herbs and spinach. Try using hummus as the "sauce" on the pizza.
