SALAD PIZZA WITH WHITE BEANS AND PARMESAN
Inspired by California Pizza Kitchen's tricolore salad pizza, this pizza features a mountain of brightly dressed greens and beans atop a crisp Parmesan crust. Rolling the dough very thin takes some patience, but the reward is a snappy crust similar to that of pizza tonda, a thin-crust pie that's popular in Rome. The salad is made of arugula, white beans and pickled pepperoncini, dressed simply with olive oil and the brine from the peppers, but any salad topping would do. (The C.P.K. original had radicchio, greens, tomatoes and a vinaigrette.) With an abundance of leaves atop, fold the pieces in half to eat, or embrace the mess - it's all part of the fun.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Place a sheet pan in the oven to heat.
- In a large bowl, stir together the white beans, pepperoncini, pickle brine and 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Place a kitchen towel on a work surface, then place an upside-down sheet pan or cutting board on the towel. (This will serve as your pizza peel; the towel stabilizes the setup as you roll the dough). Lightly grease a piece of parchment with olive oil and place on top of the upside-down sheet pan. With a lightly greased rolling pin, roll one half of the dough on the parchment as thin as you can, about 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick. (If the dough retracts, let it rest a few minutes before continuing.)
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmesan over the dough. Remove the preheated sheet pan from the oven, and carefully slide the parchment with the dough onto the hot baking sheet. Cook until golden brown on the top and bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, roll out the remaining dough on a second piece of greased parchment and cover with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan. Transfer the first pizza to a cooling rack to crisp, then repeat with the second piece of dough.
- Add the arugula to the bean mixture, season with salt and pepper, and stir gently to combine. Top each pizza with the salad, plus more grated or shaved Parmesan.

WHITE BEAN SALAD WITH ZUCCHINI AND PARMESAN CHEESE
I do not remember where this came from, but I make it all the time! It is light and refreshing, perfect for spring and summer. I will warn--it is very lemony, but that is easily remedied. I sometimes make this on a Sunday and let the flavors marry overnight then have it for lunch throughout the week. The size of the salad can easily vary also.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your pizza will taste. This is especially important for the salad toppings, as they will wilt if they are not fresh.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza: Make sure to leave some space between the toppings, so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will ensure that the pizza is cooked through and the cheese is nice and gooey.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help the cheese to set and prevent the toppings from falling off.
Conclusion:
This salad pizza with white beans and parmesan is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with fresh vegetables and protein, and the white bean and parmesan add a creamy and flavorful touch. Serve it with a side of your favorite dressing or dip, and enjoy!
