Ingredients
 

Dressing (makes ¾ cup)

  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Salad

  • 3 loosely packed cups arugula
  • ½ cucumber, sliced into half-moons
  • ½ cup artichoke hearts, quartered and sliced
  • ½ cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup pitted kalamata olives, about 10 olives, halved and patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
  • 1 ounce shaved Pecorino Romano cheese (optional)

Crust

  • 2 whole grain lavash breads
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F and mist a baking sheet with olive oil spray. Set aside.

For the dressing:

  • In a small bowl, add all of the dressing ingredients and stir until everything is well combined.

For the salad:

  • In a large bowl, combine all of the salad ingredients and gently toss with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the dressing.

For the crust:

  • Place the lavash on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each piece with oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until the lavash is crisp and browned on the edges. Cool slightly, then top with the salad and sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve with extra dressing on the side to drizzle on top.
