Gotta Get Your Greens Pizza

We love a sauce-less pizza at our house! This pizza recipe with asparagus, zucchini and arugula salad has a final product that's light and has flatbread vibes. Great as a main course or cut into smaller pieces for an appetizer. Get creative and add other cruciferous veggies like broccolini or even Brussels sprouts! - Taylor, RHR Community Manager
