Salad Pizza
This is a perfect example of how you can change a recipe for a favorite food and transform it into something similar but nutritiously better. We all love pizza, but this one is made with a rainbow of vegetables and replaces the animal protein with hummus and shrimp.
The crust is not a main focus of this dish but instead honestly just a way to get as many veggies on the crust and into your mouth! I try to find sprouted or naturally fermented flatbread when available, because this is a better choice than regular white wheat, but just do the best you can with this since it is not a major player in this recipe. The hummus, (made from chickpeas in this case), is rich in antioxidants and help hold everything together on the crust.
I made a mixed salad with as many veggies as I had in the frig, and tossed it lightly with a olive oil based dressing. Topping it with a few grilled shrimp and fresh tomatoes makes for an absolutely beautiful and delicious alternative to pizza delivery.
Ingredients
Flatbread of choice (look for sprouted or naturally fermented if available)
Hummus of choice
Mixed Salad made with as many different colors of the rainbow as possible
Dressing of choice
Grilled Shrimp, diced
Cherry Tomatoes, quartered
Instructions
Serves 2
Cut flat bread into desired size rectangles and toast in a 450 degree oven for 4 minutes or until crisp enough to hold the toppings.
Spread flatbread with a layer of hummus.
Top with the mixed salad that has been lightly tossed with dressing.
Top with the shrimp and fresh tomatoes.
Enjoy!
