Pizza Salad Recipe
Description
Pizza Salad Recipe blends a fresh base of salad greens with halved grape tomatoes, cannellini beans, pepperoni slices, feta, and shaved Parmesan cheese for texture and flavor variety. The salad is topped with crunchy croutons that add a satisfying bite. The dressing brings together extra virgin olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and chopped parsley and basil, seasoned with sea salt and garlic pepper. This dressing is made fresh in a blender just before serving to maintain herb freshness. Tossing the salad with herbs and cheeses mimics the familiar pizza flavors while keeping the dish light and fresh.
The salad offers a mix of crisp, creamy, and savory elements with the beans providing heartiness and pepperoni adding a spicy, meaty note. It complements casual meals as a side dish or a light lunch option. The fresh herb dressing ties the salad ingredients together without overpowering them.
