Crispy grain-free herb flatbread loaded with spicy arugula salad and topped with salty shaved-Parmesan and Marcona almonds makes an easy main course for a relaxed summer dinner menu.

Here’s another recipe where the simplicity of the ingredients really shines and essentially takes no time at all to put together, not to mention that it goes well with a glass of crisp white or rose wine. Arugula, Gourmande in the Kitchen, Sylvie Shirazi Photography, food photography

It’s a light rustic-style recipe that marries the flavors of the Mediterranean.  More cracker than bread, it comes together quickly in the food processor and bakes in about 15 minutes.

The principle is simple: rosemary and grated Parmesan infuse the base full of flavor and dressed, mildly bitter wild arugula tops it along with more grated Parmesan and salty Marcona almonds. The secret to this light flatbread is to roll it out very thin.

The crispy flatbread, lightly golden and pleasurably snappy is the perfect vehicle for scooping any summer salad or vegetable dish (like these grilled vegetables). Make a few of them to break up into pieces and serve as an appetizer with cheese when entertaining.

  4. In your experience do the marcona almonds lower your desire to put more salt on the whole thing? Might be good for people watching their sodium if there's a sodium content difference but the taste is the same.

  38. I have pizza dough, Parmesan and arugula in the fridge--I was planning to make a grilled pizza this week but I like the sound of your crisp rosemary flatbread so much more. Marcona almonds have such a great flavor--my pantry is stocked with them since I can't seem to get enough lately. I am going to make this soon! Thanks, Sylvie!

  44. That is perfect for summer. I had made something similar but with whole wheat and chicken salad on top. It's so easy to just break and eat :)

  48. Wow can't believe this is made entirely out of almond flour. Good job Sylvie- I defnitely think bread tastes better when it has a bit of crunch (the crust is my favorite part!!) so I like the look of these :)

  52. this was amazing! i think you left out directions to add the parmesan to the crust so we ended up not putting it in, but it was SO good! i didn't have almonds, but I added some balsamic caramelized onions. seriously the best things i've eaten in quite some time.

    • Hi Sarah, Thanks for letting me know about the Parmesan, I've updated the recipe. The grated Parmesan goes into the food processor with the almond flour and other ingredients. Balsamic caramelized onions sounds delicious with it, so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
