Arugula BLT Pizza

Arugula BLT Pizza is a thin crust, cheesy pizza topped with arugula, tomatoes, bacon, and a drizzling of ranch dressing.

I love adding salad ingredients to a pizza after it comes out of the oven.  It’s the best of both worlds – the warm, cheesy pizza crust and the crisp freshness of salad – all in one bite.  It’s a perfect lunch or light dinner.

This flatbread is topped with the ingredients of BLT’s:  bacon, arugula (as the lettuce), and tomatoes.  Drizzle ranch dressing over the arugula or the whole pizza, if you prefer!  And definitely, serve extra ranch on the side to dip the pizza crust.  YUM!

For the lettuce in BLT, I like arugula’s peppery bite and it holds up well on the hot crust.  You can use shredded iceberg or romaine if you prefer.  Halved grape tomatoes or any chopped tomato works here.  And don’t forget the bacon!

Scatter the ingredients evenly over the crust or arrange in contrasting rows.  I chose the later and then I sliced the pizza diagonally so each piece has some of each topping.

Arugula BLT Pizza is a great lighter option for pizza night.  But, I also love this for lunchtime too.  Add this recipe to your family’s pizza night routine.
