Fig and Arugula Pizza
Fig is sweet and rich where arugula is fresh and herby, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Sweet, jammy figs add a luscious, honey-like sweetness that pairs beautifully with salty cheeses. Peppery, crisp arugula adds a fresh, vibrant bite as a post-bake pizza topping. On a Pistachio Pesto Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and subtly sweet character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
