[Caramellyy_]

Hey, foodies! Are you craving for a pizza but you're on a diet and you want a flavor for your pizza that will still go to your diet plan? I got your back! because I will share to you our favorite Salad pizza. Instead of your typical sauce and cheese, this pizza "bowl" is filled with a hearty Italian salad. Here's how you make it.

Ingredients:​

For the pizza dough:​

• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the toppings:​

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup sliced black olives
• 1/2 cup sliced red onion
• 2 cups mixed salad greens (such as arugula, baby spinach, or mixed greens)
• 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the pizza dough:​

1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Stir until a dough forms, then turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.

2. Preheat the oven and prepare the toppings:​

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a circle or rectangle, depending on your preference, on a lightly floured surface.
3. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a lightly greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Scatter the cherry tomatoes, black olives, and red onion slices over the cheese.

3. Bake the pizza:​

1. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
2. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.

4. Add the salad topping:​

1. In a mixing bowl, toss the mixed salad greens with the balsamic glaze until evenly coated.
2. Pile the dressed salad greens on top of the baked pizza.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Serve:​

1. Slice the salad pizza into portions and serve immediately, while the crust is still warm and crispy.

Enjoy your delicious salad pizza! Feel free to customize the toppings to what you like to add and let me know your thoughts to this recipe.

Thanks for sharing this recipe! Salad Pizza sounds like a refreshing and creative twist on traditional pizza. I can already imagine the crisp and colorful toppings, such as fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and maybe even some avocado, drizzled with a tangy vinaigrette. Plus, serving it on a crispy pizza crust adds an extra layer of texture and flavor. Can't wait to try making this Salad Pizza for a light and satisfying meal!
