Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 ° F.

- While the pizza cooks, combine the arugula, cucumber, tomatoes, 1/2 cup of feta cheese and red onion in a medium-size mixing bowl.

- Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and top with the Greek salad.
- Sprinkle oregano and crushed red pepper on the pizza and drizzle with a balsamic glaze for extra flavor, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You can add a variety of other ingredients, like artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, chickpeas, goat cheese, fresh herbs and spinach.
- Try using hummus or tzatziki as the “sauce” on the pizza.
