GRILLED PIZZA WITH SMOKED SALMON AND ARUGULA

This is quite possibly the best pizza I´ve ever tasted – and I lived in Italy! (Althoguh Italian pizzas are the best) – but this combination – the smoked salmon and the arugula is utterly delicious. It´s quite easy to make. The pizza dough recipe is mine …. yes I know it´s unbelivable but I´ve been perfecting it for years now and the secret people is to roll it as thin as possible and PRE-bake it….

I really hope you try this one out and love it.

7. Place pizza crust directly on a medium hot grill for about 2 minutes.

Ingredients for Pizza Filling

• ¼ cup of softened room temperature cream cheese
• 1 small 8 oz. package smoked salmon (in slices)
• 1 cup loosely packed arugula
• 1 large sliced Roma tomatoes
• ½ small red onion
• ¼ cup large capote capers

1. Spread cream cheese over the crust.
2. Next, place salmon slices over the cream cheese layer.
3. Scatter arugula leaves over the salmon.
4. Place sliced tomatoes atop the arugula
5. Add sliced red onion on top of everything
6. Dot the feta cheese over the top.
7. Give a few twists of fresh ground black pepper over all.
8. Put cover on the grill for just 2-3 minutes to give the cheese a chance to start to melt, being careful to watch the thin crispy bottom crust so it doesn’t burn.
9. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the top of the pizza.
10. Remove from grill, slice into wedges, and serve immediately – enjoy a fresh pizza taste!
