Greens. Pesto. Cheese. Pizza. Delicious.

This pizza is so yummy and packed with greens so you don’t feel guilty about eating pizza! I bought this pizza dough at Whole Foods, so I didn’t make the dough myself. However, this is whole wheat and the crust is extremely thin, so it’s not too heavy. This is simple to make – all you do is make the pesto using Organic Girl greens or any greens you like – spinach or kale would be great too. Spread a layer of the pesto over the dough and top it with a little grass-fed organic mozzarella, or any cheese you desire. Vegan cheese would also be great on this.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store bought whole wheat pizza dough (buy gluten-free if necessary)
  • 1/2 cup organic mozzarella cheese
  • Pesto ingredients:
  • 2 cups of greens
  • 1/4 cup basil
  • 2 tbsp parsley

  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven according to the instructions on the pizza dough recipe that you buy.
  2. Make the pesto by using my recipe here – I used Organic Girl Pepper Greens for this instead of the kale, but feel free to use whatever greens you like.
  3. Top the pizza dough with a layer of pesto and then a generous sprinkle of cheese.
  4. Transfer the pizza to the oven, on a baking sheet. Bake according to the pizza dough package instructions, or until the crust is golden and the cheese on top is fully melted.
