Spring Vegetable and Almond Pizza
Nuts on pizza are not something you’ll come by often, but they add a delightful crunch as well as contributing healthy proteins and oils saving the need for extra meat and cheese.
1 large pizza, 8 slices
PrintIngredients
1/3 cup almonds, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
8-10 fresh mint leaves
1 large uncooked pizza dough
1 green zucchini, finely sliced lengthwise
1 yellow squash, finely sliced lengthwise
1 red pepper, finely sliced
2 tablespoons crumbled goat or feta cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Place half the chopped almonds in a blender or coffee grinder, add the oil, lemon juice and mint and process until smooth.
- Brush pizza base with olive oil and arrange sliced vegetables over top. Scatter with the goat cheese and reserved almonds. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden and nuts are browned.
- Serve drizzled with the almond-mint dressing.
