Tonight I was craving some pizza and luckily I bought some gluten free mini pizza crust from Whole Foods. I added some tomato sauce (just regular canned tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, spinach, tomatoes, and some broccoli. I also made a side salad with quinoa (for added protein) and a delicious spicy mustard dressing. It was delicious, minus any guilt.
Gluten Free Veggie and Cheese Pizza
1 mini gluten free cooked pizza crust (I got my from Whole Foods)
3-4 spoons of canned tomato sauce (or more or less as desired)
2 handfuls of mozzarella cheese (or as desired)
3 florets of broccoli, cut long ways
3 cherry tomatoes cut in half
a dash of salt and pepper
a dash of herb blend no salt seasoning (I got mine from Costco)
I used my toaster oven on 400 degrees F for 5-10 minutes (until cheese melted) and then 7-8 on broil to it nicely toasted.
Quinoa Salad w/dressing:
1 small handful of spinach
6-8 cherry tomatoes
7 leaves of romaine lettuce (loosely chopped)
1/2 avocado (diced)
1/3 cup cooked quinoa (I made a big batch and put leftovers in the fridge)
Dressing:
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp spicy dijon mustard (from trader joe’s)
1 tsp agave nectar
Juice of 1 small lime
a dash of salt and pepper
Once the salad is put together, toss in the dressing and voila. Enjoy!
