Grilled Greek Salad Pizza combines all the flavors of a Greek Salad in pizza form. Have you ever tried grilling pizza? Grilled pizza is fast and easy, especially if you use flatbread as the crust. Summer grilling means minimal cooking and cleanup effort, so this recipe for Grilled Greek Salad Pizza meets both criteria. I love Greek salad and pizza so combining them into one recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy both in the same bite. Sponsored by Peapod.
This grilled Mediterranean salad pizza makes a fun party appetizer or main course for summer entertaining. Feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, fresh tomatoes, roasted red peppers and kalamata olives are placed on top of whole grain naan. You can use pita bread or other flatbread too. Of course, fresh pizza dough would work too, but would require a few extra steps.
Grilling takes less than five minutes. You just want the cheese to melt, and the crust to get nice and crispy.
Salad greens, cucumbers and red onion are tossed in a light Greek salad dressing, and placed on top of the grilled pizza. Serve immediately!
