Herby Salad Pizza

You’ve probably made an effort to be healthy by adding a side salad to your pizza order a time or two, but what if you put a salad on top of your pizza? Say goodbye to your sad side salad and say hello to a  freshly baked, bubbly mozzeralla-topped pizza crust topped with fresh lettuce, herbs and  bright notes of citrus 

This simple, flavorful recipe relies on raw ingredients, so quality is important.  Tender, fresh herbs and bitter, crunchy lettuce are a must, and we highly recommend shopping local and using seasonal veggies if you’re able. 

After gathering your ingredients, there’s not too much technique involved with the assembly. A yogurt-based dressing –– we like sheep’s milk yogurt to give it extra tartness –– with garlic, lemon and herbs adds a fresh and tangy kick to a mix of radicchio and red leaf lettuce (feel free to choose your own favorite leafy combination). Tossed alongside the lettuce and dressing are spicy radish rounds, fresh mint, feathery dill, oniony chives and flat-leaf parsley. Add in a hint of licorice flavor from thinly sliced fennel for an aromatic, dynamic salad that’s tasty to the very last bite.

Note

To make this recipe vegan, sub in plant-based Greek yogurt for the salad dressing and top the pizza with a vegan mozzarella like Miyokos’s Vegan Pizza Mozzarella. We also recommend cutting the pizza before topping it with salad, as it makes for a cleaner slice and prevents the greens from bruising and keeps them crisp.
