Pistachio and Arugula Pizza
Pistachio is rich and sweet where arugula is fresh and herby, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Crushed pistachios add a vibrant green color and a sweet, buttery, slightly floral crunch. 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.
