Vegan Salad Pizza

I just can’t help but be healthy.

I actually think it’s in my DNA. As a teen when my friends were chowing down on chips and doughnuts I was preparing myself a salad and herbal tea.

I do however like a good pizza but as I don’t eat dairy products I had kind of stopped thinking about it and opted for other things more green and nutritious. Then I made this. It’s like a pizza salad hybrid and it is amazing.  In fact, now whenever I start having the dinner dilemma thoughts, this pops in my head.

The great thing about it is that it can be made with whatever veges you have hanging around- this is a summer version but a winter version could be topped with broccoli and cauli- the options are endless.

Anyway I made this for some omni friends of ours and they loved it. I used a pre made vegan pizza  base as I am rubbish at making any kind of dough and I also used some BioCheese Vegan Cheese as well but it can easily be made without.

Be creative!

What you need

Pizza Base

• Vegan Pizza Base – or make your own if you are more talented in that department than me!
• Tomato paste
• Garlic and Herbs
• BioCheese or another Dairy Free Cheese

Salad Topping

• 1 Cup each of parsley & coriander chopped
• 1 Cup of cherry tomatoes quartered
• 1 Large avocado chopped
• 1 red onion diced
• 1 cup of cucumber chopped in cubes
• Dressing of your choice- I used pomegranate molasses, olive oil, lemon juice and salt

How do you make it?

Mix together the tomato paste with some finely crushed garlic and spread onto the base

Cover the tomato  paste with your choice of cheese and bake in the oven until the base is crisp – about 15 minutes

In the meantime, put all of the chopped salad ingredients into a bowl and toss with the dressing of your choice.

Then take the base out of the over and cover with the salad/vege mix.

It honestly is so delicious and you get a decent whack of veges as well!

Enjoy!
