- 5 cloves of garlic, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup canola oil
- 2–3 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Flatbread:
- 1 lb pizza dough
- Flour, for rolling out the dough
- Cornmeal, for the dough
- Olive oil, for brushing on the dough
- 1 cup hummus, store-bought or homemade
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup thinly sliced English cucumber
- ½ cup chopped scallions or red onion
- ½ cup chopped or thinly sliced radishes

Instructions
For the Dressing:
- Combine the egg yolks, anchovy paste, garlic, Dijon, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and Worcestershire in a food processor. Process until well mixed and smooth.
- With the machine running, stream in the two oils slowly. Run the machine for a few seconds after all the oil is incorporated, to ensure that it fully emulsifies. It’s ready when it’s thick and creamy.
- Fold in the parmesan cheese and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and keep cold until you are ready to use it. I like to make this as in advance as possible to allow the flavors to meld well.
For the Flatbread:
- Preheat the oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone on the middle rack. If you don’t have a pizza stone, place a lightly oiled baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out your dough to desired shape and thickness. Sprinkle a pizza peel with cornmeal and then carefully transfer the dough to the pizza peel. Brush the dough with olive oil.
- Bake the dough for 10-15 minutes, watching carefully, or until it is puffed and golden brown.
- Whole the pizza is baking, prep your salad ingredients.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and spread the hummus over the surface while the dough is still hot.
- In a large bowl, toss together the romaine, cucumber, scallions/onion, radishes, and desired amount of dressing.
- Top the pizza with the salad and garnish with parmesan. Slice and serve.
