Our taste testers loved this pizza’s crunchy crust and zingy zucchini salad, but the real hero was the halloumi a dry, salty cheese similar to feta (which you could sub if you can’t find halloumi). Sodium amounts vary among brands, so check the label.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- ½ tsp kosher salt, divided
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shaved zucchini strips (from 1 zucchini)
- 1 (5-oz.) thin whole-wheat pizza crust (such as 365 Everyday Value)
- ¼ cup refrigerated basil pesto
- 2 ½ oz. halloumi or feta cheese, crumbled (about ⅔ cup)
- 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
- ⅛ tsp crushed red pepper
- 1 (2-oz) pkg baby spring mix (about 4 cups)
- ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 400°F with oven rack in top position. Stir together vinegar, oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in zucchini; let stand at room temperature 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place pizza crust on a baking sheet; spread pesto over crust. Sprinkle cheese evenly over pesto, and top with tomatoes and crushed red pepper. Bake on top rack at 400°F until slightly crispy, about 6 minutes. Turn broiler to high, and broil until cheese is bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool 2 minutes.
- Add baby spring mix, onion, and basil to zucchini mixture; toss to combine. Arrange salad mixture evenly over pizza. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Cut into 8 slices; serve immediately.
