Instructions

Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) for homemade dough or according to the pizza dough package instructions. Roll out dough to desired size and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
Brush the pizza crust with olive oil and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the baked crust, add feta if using, and return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts and is bubbly.
While the pizza bakes, prepare the salad by tossing mixed greens, red cabbage (if using), avocado, and any additional veggies. Whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard (optional), salt, and pepper for the dressing and toss over the salad.
Once the pizza is baked, top it with the dressed salad mixture, followed by cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, bell peppers, olives, and fresh basil. Serve immediately while the crust is still warm.

Notes

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container, keeping the salad topping separate. Store salad for up to 1 day in the fridge.

For gluten-free, use a gluten-free pizza crust.

Feel free to customize the salad topping with additional veggies like radishes, shredded carrots, or zucchini.
