Pizza with a crispy, chewy crust, prepared on the grill, and topped with one of my favorite saladas: basil, tomato and mozzarella cheese. You can enjoy this dish both cold or warm.
{grilled Caprese salad pizza}
Ingredients:
- 1 store- bought pizza dough sheet, or homemade pizza dough
- 2 tomatoes, sliced thick or 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
- 1/2 pound cheese mozzarella, drained, and sliced thick (or mozzarella bites)
- 12 fresh basil leaves
- extra virgin olive oil
- pinch of salt
Directions:
- Heat a grill pan to medium-high. Brush with 1 tablespoon oil
- Roll pizza dough, and cut with a round cutter (or stretch to four ovals, or your preferred shape)
- Transfer dough to preheated grill pan. Cook on one side 2 to 3 minutes
- Turn the pizza using tongs, and bake on the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes
- Transfer to a serving plate, and top with tomato and mozzarella. Arrange a few basil leaves on each pizza.
- Drizzle olive oil over the top of the salad, and sprinkle a pinch of salt. Serve inmediately
- Alternatively, you may cook the salad on the grill pan, inside two pizza pieces, until cheese begins to melt
