Instructions

Preheat oven to necessary temperature for pizza crust. To a mason jar, add all of the lemon vinaigrette ingredients, top with a lid and give it a good shake. Set aside.
Cook the bacon slices until they are crisp, set on a paper towel-lined plate and reserve at least 1 tbsp of the bacon grease. Dice the bacon when cool.
Now make the white sauce. Add 1 tbsp of bacon grease to a sauce pan over medium heat, add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until soft. Add the flour and stir constantly for about 30-60 seconds to cook the flour. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly.
Cook until it has thickened slightly and then add the salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese has melted. Remove from heat.
Spread the white sauce onto the pizza crust (use as much or as little as you like). Then top with the shredded cheese and diced bacon. Put the pizza in the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10-15 minutes.
Add some of the vinaigrette to the baby kale and give it a good toss. Top the warm pizza with the cold greens and then top the greens with some freshly shaved Parmesan cheese and serve.
