  • For the Salad:
  • .5 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • .5 tsp Whole grain Dijon mustard
  • .25 tsp Minced garlic
  • Drizzle of clover or wildflower honey
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups Finely chopped kale
  • .5 cups Shredded brussels sprouts
  • .5 cups zucchini, thinly sliced (about 1 small)
  • .5 Small shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp Flat leaf parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • For the Pizza:
  • Open tomatoes and hand crush. Heat skillet on medium-low on stove top.
  • Cut pizza and serve salad on top or on platter alongside slices.
  • Divide dough to form a ball that will stretch to fit about a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  • Cover and refrigerate any dough not being used.
  • Preheat oven to 450° F or 500° F (as high as your oven will go) and place a rack at the top.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, and sugar. Set aside.
  • Shape dough into a disc and begin to work/thin it out with your hands.
  • When the skillet is hot, turn off heat and remove skillet. Add a pinch or two of the cornmeal mixture over the bottom of the pan. It should be a light coating, not full coverage.
  • Push dough into pan and partially up the sides (careful, it’s hot!).
  • Ladle about ⁄ cup of the crushed tomatoes and their juices onto the dough in the pan and top with cheese.
  • Drizzle olive oil around the outside of the crust and down the inner sides of the cast iron.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes until crust is brown. Broil for a few seconds, if desired, and remove from oven.
  • For the Salad:
  • While pizza is cooking, prepare salad by whisking garlic, mustard, honey, vinegar, oil, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
  • Add the kale, Brussels sprouts, zucchini, shallot, and parsley to the dressing bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
