Grilled Pizza with Pesto, Tomatoes & Feta
from South Beach Diet
Pizza isn't entirely off limits on The South Beach Diet. In fact, if it's piled high with a variety of vegetables, it can be a sensible option for dinner. Just choose a whole wheat crust whenever possible -- and make sure you don't overindulge. The next time you're planning a backyard barbecue, try this South Beach Diet.Phase 3 recipe, which can be made on the grill.
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 pound prepared pizza dough, preferably whole-wheat
1/2 cup prepared pesto
4 ripe plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, torn
- Heat grill to medium-high
- Meanwhile, place dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch round crust, about 1/4 inch thick. Place crusts on a floured baking sheet. Carry crusts and toppings out to the grill.
- Lay crusts on grill (they won't stay perfectly round). Cover grill and cook until crusts are lightly puffed and undersides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
- Using tongs, flip crusts. Immediately spread pesto over crusts. Top with tomatoes. Sprinkle with feta and pepper. Cover grill and cook until the undersides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes more. Sprinkle with basil and serve immediately.
