Start with resting the dough at room temperature or preparing it from scratch. Whip up the yogurt sauce. Peel the beets. Wash the greens and figs. Slice the figs for the salad and pizza. Roll the dough into a pizza shape and par-bake. Flip over, top the pizza and bake. Assemble the salad as the pizza finishes.
I know some of you are thinking this sounds like dessert, but the most it has in common with dessert is that it is heavenly to eat. A homemade pizza dough will serve you well for this dish, but store bought can work in a pinch. The garlic herb yogurt sauce is drizzled on as the base for this savory pizza that is dotted with slices of fresh figs. A sprinkling of torn proscuitto is the way we like it, but the vegetarian option of toasted, salty pine nuts is also delicious.
The bitter arugula and strips of beets, balance nicely with the sweet balsamic and seasonal figs. A crumble of walnuts completes the dish, but if you are cheese lover feel free to add a feta, aged goat cheese or another lovely selection. Make it vegan by substituting maple syrup or your favorite sweetener for the honey. Skipping the honey is also easy if you have a thick, luscious balsamic vinegar.
