Zucchini and Lemon Zest Pizza
Zucchini is earthy where lemon zest is tangy, and a shared fresh streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Thinly sliced zucchini adds a delicate, garden-fresh sweetness with a tender bite. Bright lemon zest adds a fragrant citrus lift that awakens and freshens rich pizzas. On a Classic Basil Pesto base, the sauce's herbaceous and garlicky character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
