Incredible Caesar Salad Vegan Flatbread Pizza
This vegan flatbread pizza is topped with garlic butter, mozzarella, and parmesan. It's baked to melty perfection and then topped with a simple vegan caesar salad. Think of the cheesy flatbread as the replacement for croutons in a Caesar salad. You're getting the best of both worlds with this fun dish!
Ingredients
- 1 flatbread/naan (I use my vegan naan recipe from this blog-it is about 8 inches in diameter)
Garlic Butter
- 1 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 tbsp fresh garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- Tiny pinch of salt
Cheese Topping
- 1/2 cup favorite shredded vegan mozzarella (I used Violife's)
- 1/4 cup favorite vegan parmesan (I used Follow Your Heart's)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Caesar Salad
- 3/4 cup romaine lettuce, small chopped
- 5 cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp red onion, thinly julienned
- 1-2 tbsp favorite vegan caesar dressing (I use my vegan caesar dressing recipe from this blog)
- 1 tbsp vegan parmesan, plus more for sprinkling on top
Instructions
Garlic Butter
- Add the ingredients into a small saute pan and place over medium/medium-low heat.
- Cook the ingredients for about 3-4 minutes, or until the garlic is soft.
Cheese Topping
- Toss the ingredients together well in a bowl.
Caesar Salad
- Add the romaine lettuce and Caesar dressing into a bowl and toss well.
- Add in the rest of the ingredients and gently toss to coat everything.
How to Prepare, Cook, and Assemble the Flatbread Pizza
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a sheet pan with a piece of parchment paper. Set the naan or flatbread on top.
- Evenly distribute the garlic butter over the entire flatbread.
- Evenly distribute the cheese topping over the entire flatbread.
- Place the sheet pan with the flatbread on the middle oven rack and bake it for 12 minutes. You may cook it a bit longer if you like your pizza firmer and crunchier.
- Allow the pizza to cool down ever so slightly. Then, cut it into your desired amount of pieces. I always cut mine into 6 squares.
- Top the pieces of pizza with the Caesar salad. Sprinkle on top a bit more parmesan and fresh cracked black pepper, if so desired!
