Arugula Salad Pizza
Grilled pizza! The only way to eat pizza in the summer!
And since it’s summer and salad season, let’s make it a salad pizza, shall we? Grilled Arugula Salad Pizza With Prosciutto is my favorite!
Grilled pizza topped with a bed of baby arugula greens lightly tossed in a white balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
Now that’s what I call delicious pizza perfection!
The warmth of the grilled pizza crust wilts the baby arugula, tomatoes and prosciutto ever so slightly making each bite the perfect combination of summer flavors and textures.
Have you ever put arugula on pizza? I love the fresh flavors and texture of tender greens on a warm cheesy prosciutto pizza.
Fire up the grill, it's time for a prosciutto pizza with arugula and all it’s summer flavors!
