Story behind the recipe:
One night Allergy Girl REALLY wanted pizza. She hadn't had pizza in a couple years because she couldn't figure out how to make something good without tomatoes, and dairy. She had hinted at it several times, and pined at pizza whenever it came in our path. So I decided I needed to fix that. I make a really good pesto sauce that I already knew she liked and made that my first spark of inspiration for the recipe.
There's this amazing salad I made for a work party once and I really wanted to make that for her and the only real part of it I struggled with was the cheese. I had recently found Myokos Smoked Farm House dairy free Cheese in her freezer and found out it was her favorite "cheese" but she never did anything with it, so I took that, shredded it, and added it in place of my regular cheese. I prefer this version over the regular version because that "cheese" does something magical to the recipe.
It's a rich salad with a hearty pizza. It makes the perfect date night dinner or cozy comfort food for anyone. We have this regularly and have come up with many versions of it that we will post later because it's so delicious it's quite honestly addicting. Allergy Girl requests this all the time and glows with happiness when we have it. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Let us know how it goes.
