Greens on Green Pizza

Cauliflower Pizza Crust with Basil-Pumpkin Seed Pesto and sautéed Kale & Chickpeas

Greens on Green Pizza

Savory & Delicious!

This is my second time recreating my friend Nancy’s (of Urban Kitchen Apothecary) Greens on Green pizza.  It was even better than I remembered!

Cauliflower Pizza Crust topped with Basil-Pumpkin Seed Pesto, Sautéed Kale & Chickpeas, Goat Cheese, Feta Cheese, and a fennel-sesame seed-salt mix to finish with some crunch and flavor pop. It’s an AMAZING combination of flavors!

This time I made it using a Cali’flour Foods  pizza crust so it came together really quickly.  I love using Cali’flour pizza crusts because you get the taste and texture of homemade without any of the work.  This entire pizza came together in less than 30 minutes.
