Smoked Salmon and Avocado Pizza
Smoked Salmon and Avocado Pizza with a herb cream cheese base and peppery arugula leaves.
It occurred to me in a disturbing way that I’m always sharing pizza type recipes, like the Barbecue Chicken Pizza Pull Apart Bread and that Pizzadilla…or the Cheesy Pizza Pull Apart Bread. Then there were those Margarita Pizza Stuffed Chicken Breasts that were kinda pizza-genius. but there is not one single pizza recipe on my blog.
Pizza Recipe
So cheesy and full of healthy good-for-you-stuff, this pizza is incredible. After making the Smoked Salmon And Avocado Grilled Cheese, you’ve been asking for more of the same flavour combination!
Well. This was it. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Fresh smoked salmon slices drizzled with a little lemon juice.
A wholemeal/wholewheat pizza base or a flour tortilla….already made and perfect for throwing whatever toppings your heart desires…drizzled with a little garlic olive oil. The perfect cream cheese mixture with garlic and dill spread onto a pizza base.
Topped with onion rings and cheese and finally topped with the smoked salmon, avocado and fresh rocket/arugula leaves. With a shake or 7 of lemon pepper and a drizzle of lemon juice, this pizza went like crazy. At this point…you can serve how it is!
OR!
Sprinkle a little extra cheese over the top and place back into the oven for extra melty cheese and warmed through avocado and salmon. The choice is yours.
