Meet the BLTizza<\/font><\/p>\n

Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and izza. <\/font><\/p>\n

She\u2019s awfully purdy. <\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

\"falafel,<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Sunday when I asked Daniel what I should make for lunch, he kissed me sweetly, told me to choose, but reminded me that he \u201cdoesn\u2019t love BLTs" like I do. I smiled and told him, \u201coh, thank you for reminding me!\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n

And made a BLT pizza instead. <\/font><\/p>\n

I hear compromise is the foundation of a loving relationship. I absolutely intend to try that someday. <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"falafel,<\/a><\/p>\n

Until then\u2026<\/font><\/p>\n

Applewood smoked bacon and crumbled feta cheese with greens, tomato, and red onion, all tossed in a sweet and salty maple-bacon vinaigrette. The play of flavors is just so lovable. Tangy tags salty and sweet catches smoky. Feel free to use pizza dough here, but I highly recommend using fresh flatbreads from the deli or bakery section of your local market. Just char them slightly under your broiler and pile them high with bacon salad. <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BLTizza<\/font><\/p>\n

makes 2<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

4 cups mixed baby greens<\/font><\/p>\n

1 small tomato, diced<\/font><\/p>\n

1\/2 small red onion, thinly sliced<\/font><\/p>\n

4 slices bacon, pan fried, drippings reserved for dressing<\/font> <\/p>\n

1\/2 cup crumbled feta cheese<\/font><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup maple bacon vinaigrette (recipe below)<\/font><\/p>\n

2, 8\u201d flatbreads<\/font><\/p>\n

Gently toss the greens, tomato, onion, crumbled bacon, and feta cheese with the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Set aside. Broil the flatbreads for about 2 minutes per side, just until charred and crispy. <\/font>Divide the salad mixture among the two warm flatbreads, slice with a long chef\u2019s knife, and serve immediately. <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Maple Bacon Vinaigrette<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00bc cup apple cider vinegar<\/font><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons bacon drippings<\/font><\/p>\n

1 \u00bd tablespoons maple syrup<\/font><\/p>\n

1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard<\/font><\/p>\n

1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/font><\/p>\n

1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper<\/font><\/p>\n

Whisk all dressing ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days. You will only use 1\/4 cup of dressing for the BLTizza. <\/font><\/p>\n
