Smashed Feta Flatbread
This is a no bake, flatbread recipe — that’s right, you don’t even need to turn on the oven! I was in the mood for something light and refreshing and thought: what if we made a giant naan and turned it into a pizza?
To do that we’ll need need a base and toppings, so I reached for feta and topped it with cool cucumbers, tomatoes and red onion tossed in a light dill oil!
