Eat-Your-Greens Pizza
We threw pizza convention out the kitchen window in this utterly delicious (and beautiful) recipe. Frozen puff pastry pinch-hits for traditional pizza dough, yielding a flaky, crisp crust. A salad's worth of vegetables covers the top, along with just a bit of smoky ham and nutty Gruyere cheese. And say good-bye to marinara sauce. Instead, a drizzle of flavorful creamy garlic salad dressing moistens the pizza and adds big flavor.
Ingredients
Directions
-
Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and place into an ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Using your fingers, gently press the dough to the edges. (Pastry will be thin.) Prick center with a fork, leaving a 1-inch border unpricked. Bake for 15 minutes in a 375°F oven. Remove from oven. Sprinkle crust with 1 cup of the Gruyere; return to oven for 5 minutes more.

In a medium bowl, combine spinach and kale. Add the salad dressing and toss lightly to coat. Remove the cheese-topped pastry from the oven. Top with the spinach mixture, vegetable mixture and artichoke hearts. Bake for 5 minutes.
