Cobb Salad on a Pizza

Tonight while in search of something new to put on a pizza I stumbled upon something wonderful. Think Cobb Salad on a Pizza. Juicy Grilled Chicken, Crumbled Bacon (I used Turkey Bacon), Diced Apples, Gorgonzola Cheese, and Sweet Onions...is your mouth watering yet?  Top it off with some fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, hard boiled egg, and a drizzle of Ranch Dressing. Words can't even describe! Try it out for yourself and tell me what you think!

Cobb Salad on a Pizza
1 ball of your favorite pizza dough
4 tbsp. of ranch dressing
2 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 breast of grilled chicken, chopped
5 pieces of Bacon, or Turkey Bacon crumbled
1 large Fuji apple, sliced and diced
1/3-1/2 c. crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1/2 of a sweet onion, sliced into thin rings
2 c. lettuce (Romaine, Bib, or Red Leaf would work best)
1 Tomato, diced
1 hard boiled egg
more Ranch Dressing to drizzle

Directions:

Start out with your favorite pizza dough, work dough to desired thickness and place in a prepared pan, or if you prefer, you can bake pizza on your grill like I did. Basically you lay your dough right down onto a preheated grill brushed with olive oil. Normally you would flip when the bottom is lightly browned and quickly add toppings right on the grill, but because of the number of toppings I decided to grill both sides, top, and finish off in the broiler

Spread pizza with a thin layer (about 4 tbsp.) of Ranch. Top with Mozzarella, chicken, bacon, apples, crumbled Gorgonzola, and onion. Bake at 450 degree oven for 10-12 minutes, or if dough has already been grilled place under your broiler for 2-4 minutes, or cheese is melty and edges are toasty.

Cool pizza slightly and top with lettuce, tomatoes, sliced hard boiled eggs and a drizzle of your favorite ranch dressing. Serve Immediately!
