These are based off family favorites I created some years ago. I share with your family now.
Using either your own crust, lavash or whole grain pita wraps (or GF).
#1 Arugula Pizza:
Spread a good amount of garlic hummus (oil-free) over the crust and bake for about 5 to 8 minutes on 400°. Time will vary based on oven. We’re going for warmth and a little bit of crispness. The hummus will start to “harden” a bit but that’s OK.
Meanwhile make the following lemon dressing:
-
- Juice of one lemon
- 4 T water
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
- Salt (optional) and pepper to taste
Toss this with as much arugula you want and place it on your pizza crust with the hummus. *For a thicker dressing add a drizzle of tahini and whisk.
#2 Pineapple Pizza:
-
- 2 slices of fresh pineapple
- 1 red onion sliced long ways
- 1/2 small can sliced black olives (omit if strictly low-fat and no salt)
- 3-4 Peppercinni peppers sliced
- Tomatoe sauce of choice (oil free, low sodium if possible)
- Nutritional yeast
Get your large nonstick skillet heated to medium high heat. If you’re using a grill get that nice and hot. Place the pineapple to “char” in the pan on both sides and remove from heat.
Keep the pan on medium high heat and add your onions again to “Char” but cook a little extra possibly 2 to 3 minutes.
Spread your pizza crust with some tomato sauce as desired and bake for 3 to 5 minutes to slightly crisp on 400°. Add all ingredients above and bake another 3 to 5 minutes. Top with nutritional yeast if desired.
Have a safe, healthy and delicious Friday!
I hope you enjoy making and savoring this recipe. Let me know how it turns out on my social media, and feel free to share your photos and feedback!💚
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
