A Salad Lovers Dream! PIZZA!!

That's right, a pizza that even the biggest salad lover will enjoy!  To top it off, it's super easy to make and the kids will love it, even though it has a leafy green vegetables on top...lol.  My twins called it the "Incredible Hulk" pizza! Pregnant and nursing mama's will really enjoy this pizza knowing that they are getting all of their necessary nutrients in one place.

I came up with this recipe one day while cleaning out my refrigerator.  Ha!  I find that most of my recipes come to me while in the midst of this chore.  Maybe I should clean it out more often so that I can get my cookbook together!

Ok, so the recipe is as follows:
  • 1 pre-packaged whole wheat pizza crust, 12 inch
  • 1 bunch of kale, roughly chopped and massaged with olive oil until wilted (about 5-7 minutes)
  • 3 oz package of moistened sun dried tomato halves
  • 1/2 cup vidalia onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh tomato puree (1 large tomato should do), season with salt and pepper
  • 2 tsp olive oil
*All of these ingredients can be found at your local organic or farmers market*


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place pizza crust on a non-stick baking sheet and rub with 1 tsp olive oil.  Spoon tomato puree over the crust leaving a 1 inch brim around the outer edges.  Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese, followed by the kale.  Now take your sun dried tomato halves and onions and place on top of the kale.  Finish with the feta and parmesan cheeses and drizzle of remaining olive oil.  Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.  Cool for 5 minutes and enjoy!
