Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces store-bought flatbreads or naan
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cups romaine lettuce, finely chopped
- 1 cup radicchio, finely chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 0.5 cup sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup pepperoncini, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup mozzarella pearls
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Brush the flatbreads or naan lightly with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
While the flatbreads are baking, prepare the salad. In a large mixing bowl, combine romaine lettuce, radicchio, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, pepperoncini, and mozzarella pearls.
In a small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and extra virgin olive oil to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Remove the flatbreads from the oven and allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Top each flatbread with a generous portion of the chopped salad, spreading it evenly over the crust.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and slice into quarters to serve.
Serve immediately for the best combination of crisp crust and fresh toppings.
