Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 cup Arugula
- 0.5 cups (loosely packed) Basil leaves
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) Green onion
- 1 large (ripe) Avocado
- 0.25 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 (minced) Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
- 0.25 cups (optional) Microgreens
- 0.25 teaspoons (optional) Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle, then transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly across the dough, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Carefully transfer the pizza (on parchment paper) to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
While the pizza bakes, prepare the green goddess dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Once the pizza is out of the oven, let it cool for 2-3 minutes before topping it with the baby spinach, arugula, basil leaves, and green onion.
Drizzle the green goddess dressing generously over the pizza. Use as much or as little as you like, depending on your preference.
Garnish with microgreens and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for extra flavor, if desired.
Slice the pizza and serve immediately. Enjoy your healthy and delicious Green Goddess Pizza!
