Ellen Greenblatt, a friend who lives in Berkeley, Calif., shared this recipe with me. Toss a green salad with this dressing, and no additional herbs will be necessary. It is perfect for chicken salad or drizzled over a cooked chicken breast; use it over shrimp, salmon or sliced tomatoes. Ms. Greenblatt uses a mini food processor, but the dressing also can be made in a mortar and pestle. Try it on some of the salads in the Recipes for Health index.

2 garlic cloves chopped

Tips:

To make the perfect piada dough, use a combination of all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and olive oil. Mix the ingredients until a smooth and elastic dough forms, then let it rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
When cooking the piadas, make sure to preheat your pan or griddle over medium heat. Cook the piadas for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and slightly puffed up.
For the lemon-basil dressing, use fresh lemon juice and basil leaves. Mix the ingredients with olive oil, salt, and pepper until a smooth and flavorful dressing forms.
To assemble the piadas, spread a layer of lemon-basil dressing on each piada. Top with your favorite fillings, such as grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or fresh mozzarella cheese. Fold the piadas in half or wrap them up like a burrito, and enjoy!

Piadas are a delicious and versatile Italian flatbread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of ingredients, making them a great option for a quick and easy meal.
