    Pizza & Toppings:

    6 oz goat cheese

    1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

    3 green onions, cut into 1½-inch pieces

    ½ cup cooked fresh green peas or thawed frozen peas

    METHOD:

    Preheat oven to 500°F.

    Make the Green Goddess dressing: stir together mayo, yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, anchovy and crushed red pepper in a medium bowl.  Add in chopped basil, parsley, and tarragon. Blend well with immersion blended. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Shape the dough into a 10–12 inch circle and place it on pizza sheet lightly sprinkled with cornmeal. Dock the dough all over with a fork.

    Crumble the goat cheese over the dough. Scatter asparagus and green onions on top. Season lightly with salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake 10–15 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the crust is golden.

    Scatter the peas over the pizza and bake 1 minute more.

    Drizzle with the dressing just before serving.

    *Any extra dressing keeps, refrigerated, for up to 1 week.
