Kale and Pine Nuts Pizza
Kale is fresh where pine nuts is rich, and a shared earthy streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Crispy-edged kale leaves add a satisfying crunch and earthy, slightly bitter green flavor. Delicate, buttery pine nuts add a subtle, creamy nuttiness and golden-toasted crunch. On a Pistachio Pesto Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and subtly sweet character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
