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!
