    Welcome back to our Week of Arugula.

    Today we are cranking up the delicious meter and making this Mediterranean Flatbread.

    Pizza dough is smothered in the Arugula Basil Pesto I shared with you yesterday and then topped with roasted tomatoes, red onion, peperoncini peppers and some fresh arugula.

    It is a simple combo of ingredients with lots of flavor.

    You could add some vegan cheese to the mix if you are into that, but there is already so much flavor going on here that I don't think you even need it.

    Arugula Health Fact:

    Arugula has high levels of dietary nitrate.

    What's good about that?

    Dietary nitrates have been shown to help athletic performance by improving muscle oxygenation. 

    Hmmm...let me go throw on my running shoes 🙂

      Wow...this is so delicious!. After pulling the pan of tomatoes out of the oven, I threw some sliced mushrooms on it and added them to the pie. The only thing that could make this better would be learning how to make a thin, crispy crust. Thanks for a new "go to" recipe!

        So glad you liked it. If I want a really thin crust, I will still use a pre-made dough, but I will place it on a large baking sheet and just keep stretching it until it is super thin. It can take a little patience to spread the dough out though. You can also buy lavash bread, which is naturally super thin, and just pile your toppings on it and bake.

      You're a jackass! It's not a recipe if it's premade.
