Cucumber on Pizza:
Well well well, welcome back Monday.
Weekends are just too short, especially in the summer.
Agreed? Agreed.
With summer halfway gone and no real solution on how to slow it down {wouldn't year-long summer be great?} I am gobbling up {pun intended} any and every summer recipe I can find time to make.
This here Cucumber Salad Pizza is one of those well-intentioned recipes. By well-intentioned, I mean one night I meant to put zucchini slices on my pizza and realized I had put cucumber slices on it only after taking my first huge bite snarfing down an entire slice.
The intention was zucchini, the end product was something fresh and crisp, light and almost sweet.
This cucumber was amazing on pizza!
Then I started brainstorming....
How could I make my normal pizza, with this new mistaken addition even better?
Shoot... I might as well add the rest of a dang cucumber salad on it and see how she goes!
Sure enough, it was fantastic y'all!
Cucumber pizza pairings:
We like to pair this cucumber pizza with a helping of Air Fryer Asparagus or Sriracha Mayo Broccoli greens.
Oh yeah, and a delicious glass of wine!
