Green Pizza

September/October 2009

Your rating: None Average: 4.1 (214 votes)

Why not use cooler-weather vegetables like broccoli and arugula as an unconventional pizza topping? The arugula adds a slightly bitter, peppery taste—for a milder flavor, use spinach instead. Serve with wedges of fresh tomato tossed with vinegar, olive oil, basil and freshly ground pepper.



READER'S COMMENT:
"I love this Green Pizza, especially with homemade thin whole wheat pizza crust! I make the dough in my food processor the night before. I add other green veggies, like peas, spinach, and artichokes and I like to add goat cheese or feta...

Easy week night dish!

I used Whole Foods whole wheat pizza dough, broccoli, spinach, and artichoke hearts for this though I could see how arugula would work. Without the artichoke hearts I don't know if I'd care for this so much. I also added low-fat ricotta cheese and small clumps of goat cheese as I think they they compliment the other agreements much more than mozzarella. I definitely added more cheese than the recipe suggested, but it was delicious so I can't complain!

Versatile, easily made your own

Delicious Green Pizza

This pizza was heavenly, and I even burnt the crust! The pesto was the perfect base (not a big tomato sauce fan)...the broccoli cooked perfectly! Thought 6 cups of arugula was a little much so I scaled back...definitely won't do that again! That stuff shrinks to nothing once it's wilted! Used an arugula/spinach mix. Also mixed mozzarella and cheddar cheese because I'm a huge cheese fan. Also added tomatoes, so good. Even with the burnt crust, my boyfriend and I just scraped the top part off with out teeth! So delicious, definitely doing again.

Easy to prep & make, cheap

I used a single prepared pizza crust and spread the bottom with pesto sauce. To that I added some herb and garlic spaghetti sauce. I did add the broccoli and red onions that I had on hand and then sprinkled a little bit of garlic powder and topped it with parmesan cheese! Delicioso!

It was easy to make!

A New Go-To Meal

Love this recipe because it is easy, yummy, and I am always looking for new ways to get more greens into our family's diet. I gave it four stars, but I like to add some goat cheese, which pushes it to five stars, in my opinion. I always make the Easy Whole Wheat Pizza Dough also on this site.

We love this pizza. We use asparagus instead of broccoli and make homemade crust! We make it all the time!
