Pantry Pizza

After work I dropped off Kimchi at a friends where he is staying until next Wednesday and I think Clifford was a bit sad to see his buddy leave. He keeps wandering around looking for him Poor guy is probably lonely. I was contemplating what to make for dinner on the way home and since Mike was heading back from the airport I knew we would want something quick.

 

I decided tonight was a clean out the fridge kind of night, get rid of the leftovers and ready to go veggies. I figured a Pantry Pizza would be a great way to use up those leftover bits. We had a pizza crust, mozzarella cheese, peppers and some smoked salmon but no pizza sauce. So I improvised mixing some organic tomato sauce with Trader Joe’s red pepper spread. This turned out a lot better than I thought it would! The sauce had a nice kick that paired well with the fresh mozzarella and smoked salmon. For a bit of extra flavor I topped the pizza was a Tuscan Spice blend.

On the side we had a big ol salad of spinach, broccoli slaw, pepper, smoked salmon and some dressing. My choice tonight was Annie’s Goddess Dressing that may be one of the best tasting options out there.
