Pizza with Fennel and Prosciutto

(Inspired by Cookthink)

1 ball pizza dough
1/2 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Olive oil
Kosher salt
3 slices prosciutto, sliced
Mozzarella cheese

Preheat the oven to 550 degrees.

Heat a small amount of olive oil in a medium skillet. Add the fennel and red onion and cook until just translucent, about 7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

On a lightly floured board, roll out the pizza dough to desired thinness. Top the dough with a thin layer of mozzarella, the fennel and onion mixture, and finally the prosciutto. Brush the exposed edges of dough with olive oil. Bake 7-12 minutes until the dough is browned and crisp.

Beet, Fennel, Orange, Endive and Arugula Salad with Citrus Vinagrette

Serves 8
Vegan

1 large bulb fresh fennel, quartered vertically and sliced very thin
1 large Belgian endive, quartered and thinly sliced vertically
4 whole scallions, trimmed and sliced into rings
2 bunches arugula, washed, trimmed and cut into 2 inch lengths
2 large navel oranges, peel cut off and oranges sliced into 1/4 inch wedges
3 medium cooked beets, peeled

In a large bowl, toss together the fennel, endive, scallions and arugula with enough dressing to flavor and moisten.
Toss in the orange segments and then add the beets. Mix only to combine to prevent the beets from coloring the other salad ingredients.
Adjust seasoning.

1 Tbs sherry vinegar (red wine vinegar or Balsamic may be substituted)
3 Tbs frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
1 shallot, peeled and finely minced
1 tsp sea salt or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
