The Dish
The bright, vibrant, and super green pizza is very easy to make and comes together in under 30 minutes. Taking many queues from the iconic Green Goddess Salad or Green Goddess Salad Dressing, this pizza is creamy, herbaceous, and loaded with healthy green vegetables.
Cream cheese is spread over garlicky naan flatbread before being topped with thinly-sliced zucchini, broccoli, and feta, drizzled with olive oil, and simply seasoned before baked crisp. The pizza is further topped with fresh arugula, sliced avocado, and basil.
