White Pizza with Microgreens is more of a guide for creating a flavorful and interesting white pizza than it is an exact “recipe.” All you need is pizza dough, a few herbs, cheese, and your favorite microgreens (arugula would also work). If using store bought dough, this dinner comes together in under 30 minutes for a quick weeknight meal. It’s a super elegant pizza, so serve at a luncheon to your friends as well. All the ingredient amounts are based on your preference, so be creative in the seasonings and make it your own!

1 cup microgreens
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ lemon
Pinch of salt

Top with mozzarella cheese, then bake for 12-15 minutes (depending on thickness of pizza dough).
Meanwhile, place a handful of microgreens in a bowl, then drizzle with olive oil, the juice of ½ lemon, and pinch of salt.
Once baked, remove pizza from oven, plate, and top center of pizza with dressed microgreens.
Enjoy immediately!
