Ingredients
  

  • 1 12-inch whole wheat or gluten-free flatbread store-bought
  • 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt for creaminess; non-dairy yogurt works too
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt plus extra to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup English cucumber seeded and diced
  • 1 cup rainbow cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot for a sweet crunch
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chiffonade, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  • While the spread chills, wash and slice your cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, and shred the carrot. Pat the cucumber dry with paper towels.
  • Place your flatbread on a large cutting board. Evenly spread the chilled yogurt mixture all the way to the edges.
  • Start with cucumber cubes, then add tomato halves, bell peppers, shredded carrot, basil, and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Give the pizza a sprinkle of sea salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Use a sharp pizza cutter to cut into wedges. Serve immediately or chill for a few minutes if needed.

Notes

If your flatbread feels too soft, warm it for 2 minutes in a toaster oven before spreading. Patting cucumbers dry is important to avoid a soggy base.
