Recently I’ve become really obsessed with making pizza. Between the beauty of my awesome pizza pan, and the delicious homemade crusts from Whole Foods, it has become my recent fall-back meal. It’s fast, easy, versatile, and makes great leftovers. Can you ask for anything else from a weeknight meal? As I have been making more and more of the pies, I’ve learned an important lesson: the salad bar is your friend!
One of the pains of making homemade pizza is getting all the toppings that you want. It’s been my experience that if I buy a container of mushrooms to top a pizza, I end up using a third of the carton at most. I always have things leftover. It even seems like one pepper never fits perfectly on a pizza.
There is, however, a great solution to all of this: the salad bar. It has now become a staple stop on my pizza runs. If I want peppers, there they are! I can take the perfect amount, and they’re already chopped for me! The same can be said for just about anything that you would want to throw on a pizza: mushrooms, onions, broccoli, etc.
My favorite salad bar item, though, has to be the sliced chicken breast. I love chicken on a pizza, either a barbecue pizza, or a chicken Alfredo pizza, or even a Thai peanut chicken pizza. The problem, however lies in having to cook up a couple breasts of chicken if you don’t have any leftovers. Never fear, you can pick up as much chicken as you need, already cooked, at the salad bar!
