Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees with either a pizza stone or sheet tray inside of it to get hot.
Using a vegetable peeler, make zucchini ribbons.
In a small bowl, mix the ricotta with salt and pepper (fresh basil if you happen to have it)!
Roll out one ball of the dough on a lightly floured surface into the shape of your sheet tray.
Remove sheet tray from the oven and drizzle with a little olive oil. Carefully place the dough on the hot tray. Spread the pesto evenly on the dough. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, zucchini ribbons, mozzarella, and dollops of the ricotta mix. Drizzle with olive oil, garlic powder, and an optional pinch of red pepper flakes.
Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly brown (this will depend greatly on the thickness and shape of your pizza so be sure to check it periodically).
To make the salad:
Combine all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk. Taste for seasoning. Dress the arugula in a large salad bowl with avocado and nut of choice.
