TIP OF THE DAY: Vegetable Pizza With A Vegetable Salad

  A meal kit from Good Eggs inspired this tip:

If you make a veggie pizza, make a matching salad.

The veggies on the pizza get softened in the oven. The veggies that comprise the salad are raw, tossed in a vinaigrette* that complements the cheesiness of the pizza.

When a vinaigrette isn’t enough:

  • Marinate the vegetables (e.g., mushrooms) for a longer time.
  • For an onion pizza, marinate the salad onions and include other vegetables: cucumbers and bell pepper, for example.
  •  
    PICK YOUR VEGGIES

    Pick your favorite pizza vegetables that also work in a salad:

  • Arugula
  • Asparagus
  • Bell peppers
  • Broccoli
  • Eggplant (for salad, try this Greek melitzanosalata recipe, accompanied by olives and romaine)
  • Fennel
  • Fresh tomatoes
  • Mushrooms
  • Radicchio
  • Spinach
  • Sweet onions/red onions/caramelized onions
  • Zucchini
  •  
    Of course, you can have just one topping on the pizza, and still have multiple ingredients in the salad.

    You’re the chef!
