Sunday Scaries

I’ve been struggling with Sunday evenings. Knowing the alarm clock is just around the corner doesn’t excite me. Mondays are hard. Hard because weekends are soooo easy and all I want is to have an extended weekend every weekend. I’m not asking for too much, right?

Since it’s spring and the temperatures are warming, spending time outdoors in beautiful places is at the top of the weekend list. I get a bit of cabin fever during our short Winter-gray days, so when the skies clear, and the temperatures warm, I want to spend as much time as I can outside walking, hiking, exploring, or pulling weeds and planting in the Garden of Weedin’.

An Easy Recipe Idea!

When Earthbound Farm asked how me how I could incorporate a not-so-everyday salad on Sunday evenings that would allow last-minute weekend fun and freedom, I started thinking more about Sunday evening priorities and how I’ve been feeling. Since our long winter days have passed, for now, I needed a nudge to get me thinking differently about Sunday evening dinner.

An easy flatbread pizza recipe I’d been making for years came to mind but with a salad twist!

Perhaps a surprising salad, did you know you can have salad on your pizza? The only rule for a salad flatbread pizza is making sure a substantial pile of those nourishing greens get on top. This is not the time to skimp.

How to Make Naan Pizza

Super simple to pull together and seasonal ingredients, the high heat makes this flatbread pizza crisp and so satisfying. Whip this pizza up in about 15 minutes! In summary, here’s how to make it (see recipe card for details):

  • First, preheat the oven. 
  • Second, saute the mushrooms in a bit of oil. 
  • Third, start building your pizza. Slather the flatbread with pesto, a little cheese, shaved asparagus, mushrooms and kalamata olives. Top with more cheese and feta. 
  • Fourth, bake the flatbread pizza for about five to seven minutes!
  • Fifth, top with a handful of fresh greens.

See how easy it is? Share with crushed pepper flakes, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, optional sliced tomatoes and your favorite beverage. Is your mouth watering?

#SaladSunday is lookin’ quite tasty, enough to chase the Sunday scaries away! 

A Few Recipe Notes

  • Shaved Asparagus: Simply use your veggie peeler to shave off thin layers of the stalk. It’s lovely on this easy pizza. 
  • It’s Versatile! Use your favorite pesto recipe (try my basil or garlic scape pesto) or use store bought! Not a fan of pesto? Use your favorite tomato sauce instead! 
    • Use just about any toppings on this pizza, but keep it simple. Drained and squeezed dry canned artichokes are a delicious stand in for asparagus. 
  • If your oven doesn’t quite reach 550F, set it to it’s highest setting and bake the pizza a bit longer. 
  • Use your favorite flatbread for this recipe. I like Stonefire Original Tandoori Naan.

Author:Traci York | Vanilla And Bean
Dinner in 15 minutes? Yes we can! Preheat the pan in the oven while you saute the mushrooms, assemble the ingredients and build the pizza. Bake for five minutes on high heat to ensure a crispy crust. Make it your own using the freshest seasonal ingredients and your favorite greens on top. Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbs Olive Oil virgin, unrefined
  • 1 1/2 C Cremini Mushrooms stems removed, sliced, 86g
  • 2 Pieces Flatbread I like Naan for this recipe
  • 1/4-1/3 C Your favorite Pesto 50g-72g
  • 1 C Shaved Asparagus loosely packed with leftover stem sliced thin, stem tips in tact, 100g
  • 1/4 C Kalamata Olives quartered, 28g
  • 1/8 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/8 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 C Mozzarella Cheese 52g
  • 1/2 C Feta Cheese 35g
  • 1 1/2 C Spinach Arugula Mix loosely packed (I use Earthbound Farm) 38g
  • 2 Hand fulls of Sliced Cherry Tomatoes
  • Balsamic Vinegar for Drizzling

Instructions

  • Set a oven rack on the highest position in the oven. Slide in a sheet pan, pizza stone or cast iron skillet and peheat oven to 550F (287C).
  • Heat oil in saute pan until shimmering. Add the mushrooms and stir only occasionally for five minutes. We want the mushrooms to sear as this will bring out their flavor. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • To build the pizza, place each piece of Naan on a sheet of parchment paper. Dividing the ingredients between the two pizzas, spread the pesto over the flatbread, almost to the edges. Layer the asparagus, mushrooms, kalamata olives, a pinch of red pepper and oregano, mozzarella and a few pieces of feta (save some feta for the top later).
  • Remove the pan from the oven and carefully transfer the pizza to the pan. If using a cast iron skillet, you'll need to bake one at a time. Bake on the top rack for five minutes. Remove from oven and transfer pizza to a cutting board. Place a generous hand full of salad mix on top of the pizza, add a bit of feta, a few sliced tomatoes, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Slice with a pizza wheel and serve immediately.
  • Serve with sea salt and red pepper flakes.

    Newbee to your sight as I’ve been trying to improve my diet. So far I have cut out red meat and dairy. Your Veggie burger drew me in! This pizza looks and sounds awesome. I feel stupid asking, but would you explain how to shave the asparagus? And do you include the tips? And what do you think would be a good substitute for the feta? This kills me, because I love feta, as well as all cheeses. Daiya is a big disappointment. Had a pizza at Mellow Mushroom with Daiya and wished it had no cheese at all!

      Hi Kay! Thank you for your note. Congratulations on your dietary shift. Yeah, the fake cheeses are not really worth the money or effort. The only one I’ve tried and liked is made with cashews.. I’m working on a homemade version :D . As far as feta, take a look at Evi’s recipe http://greenevi.com/vegan-tofu-feta-cheese-new-and-improved/ I’ve not tried it, but trust her recipes. The asparagus: trim the tips about an 1″ down, then holding the base, use a veggie peeler to shave the asparagus length wise. You’ll get wide ribbons. I hope this helps. Thank you for sharing, Kay! :D

      Greens are the best, Caroline. I really love EBF greens when our farms aren’t producing lettuce or I don’t make it to the Farmer’s Markets. They’re always fresh and delicious! The bold flavors are well balanced with the flatbread and greens. So much going on here, but so easy to pull together… esp when I need a shift in mindset! xo

    Oh man! I think this salad pizza is going to be my new favorite thing! I go to this place nearby that makes this amazing focaccia bread in a stone oven, and they serve it with these big salads. I LOVE that combo of all those veggies and greens with the bread, so this recipe is right up my alley! And I’m totally with you on the 4 day work week. We NEED to change the way we work and prioritize our time better. I am trying to get in time to read my latest find as well, and its hard!

    Oh, I’m right there with you when it comes to Sunday evenings–although I’m happy to report that I hate them much less than I did as a kid! This looks like the perfect way to cheer up on a Sunday. I am a huge fan of making flatbread pizzas and am so inspired by this one! That beautiful pesto, the mushrooms and asparagus, the gooey cheese and crisp lettuce on top…I love absolutely every ingredient! It’s such a genius way to incorporate whatever veggies you have on hand, too. I usually do a side salad, but this looks like way more fun :)

As for this beauty, I love the simplicity AND the ingredients mix. Not ever pizza needs a red sauce and the pesto is great.

    Yes, I totally get the Sunday evening blues too! They were worse when I hated my day job, but I agree, why can’t it be the weekend all the time? And Big Magic is totally on my list to read soon, Elizabeth Gilbert kind of changed my life with Eat, Pray Love. Meanwhile, this pizza is stunning. This would brighten up any Sunday (or any day!).

      I get it, Meghan. When I was teaching, I stated feeling stressed early on Sunday because I knew I wasn’t prepared for Monday. I almost always worked on Sunday just to get ready. I’m so grateful I’m past that and can now enjoy my weekends without work. I didn’t read Eat, Pray, Love but know it was a treasured book. Big Magic sucked me right in! :D

    Sunday is the day our two grandbabies that live up north spend the whole day with us, and I just realized as I typed this that a lot of our day with them revolves around food! We start with homemade blueberry pancakes (did you know a pancake can hold 1/4 of a pint of blueberries?), and then in the afternoon we start preparing Sunday dinner for all the extended family here, plus usually a spare or two! LOL I used to feel the Sunday blues, but since my two wee fiends (presently aged 6 and 4.5) spend the day with us, those old feeling ps are long gone. Part of that could be pure exhaustion by the end of the day, but seeing my little angels becoming more capable and confident in the kitchen is worth EVERYTHING! This recipe looks like something that they would go bananas over! We make our own homemade everything pizzas now, but the salad is normally on the side; I will either be the coolest Grandma ever or they will think to themselves “Oh dear, the old girl has lost it!” :D

    Love love love salads as a pizza topping! One and done kind of a situation. I dig that. This is just gorgeous, Traci. Those beautiful, fresh Earthbound Farm leaves are calling my name! Also, me and Sunday nights are not friends. And we never have been. My whole life I’ve gotten a case of the “Sunday night blues”, as my Mom calls them, every Sunday starting around 4 or 5pm. It’s just the anticipation of the week ahead I guess. I try to do something nice for myself on Sunday evenings to try and combat those feelings. But it’s a struggle!

    I just happened to click on to your site and look what I found! How gorgeous and delicious at the same time. Those toppings Traci… I’m salivating over here ;o/ I think you’ve been getting some beautiful weather lately in Seattle… I share the pull. Nothing perks me up quite like a walk in the sunshine with my dog or curling up with a good book in the grass. It’s spring after all! Time to expand, grow and rejuvenate. Sometimes we just have to create those spaces for ourselves (that has to be one of the greatest blessings of running your own biz). Happy hump day :)) x

      You make me smile every time! Thank you for the nudge, Mamma! I needed to hear that.. you know how I get. Work, work woooork!! I need to stop and smell the roses.. I’m working on that :D . Beautiful, indeed! Hot, almost too hot.. but it’s still somewhat cool on the Island. A good book in the grass sounds lovely… but lets have a pizza with that book! xo

    Gosh, won’t a 4 day work week be wonderful. I’ve been working extra long hours lately and so your thoughts are ringing true for me. I love a good flatbread pizza, Traci – and this one’s a winner. Such a great idea of topping it with a salad mix – love all the other ingredients too, especially the pesto – that’s a great alternative to regular sauce. Love everything about this!

      No doubt, Geraldine. We could ALL use it. The thought of a four day work week makes working a full time job seem more attractive. I’d even go for 4, 10 hour days rather than 5, 8s. You’re going to love this Geraldine. It’s *almost* as quick as your flatbread recipe that my PInterest Followers LOVE! The pesto gives it a fabulous flavor boost that I adore. I’ve been using garlic scape pesto and basil parm pesto. They’re over the top garlicky! xo

    I’m with you Traci! The weekends are always too short! Mondays roll around way too quickly. This salad pizza…hello!! Yes, my mouth is totally watering! Count me in for more than one! I’m in love with ALL the ingredients you’ve included!

    Beauuuuutiful Traci!!!! This pizza is beyond! I feel you on the Sunday thing… Mondays are brutal, no matter what your Monday work schedule entails. If my daughter and I want a quick Sunday salad, we usually go for a cobb. Nary a week goes by when the fridge does not have leftover roast chicken, boiled eggs and homemade ranch. Simple. So satisfying!! So glad I popped over…gorgeous. xox

      Ohhhh.. you like it? Thank you Rebecca! I’ll have you know, I whipped up my own Naan for this too, using bread and spelt. It’s sooo easy and soooo delicious! My favorite! I love the idea of a cobb salad.. I often forget of this fabulous salad and need to give it a go! Thank you for sharing Rebecca! xo

    ALL for 4 day weeks! And yes, the US does have less holidays – crazy, but it actually leads to less productive workers having people who are more burnt-out and less rested. Here in NZ we have 4 weeks leave per year, and is it 2 weeks in the US?
    Gorgeous pizza though! So perfect for spring, and so many lovely flavours, especially with the pesto base. Love the gif of you making it too! x

      Hey Claudia! Thank you so much! The pesto is such a great boost to this pizza – I love it! Agreed about less productivity, exhaustion, and burn out. It’s too much! There you go! 4 weeks is fabulous… I’m really happy for you and fellow NZlanders. There is no requirement/standard for vacation here in the US. If you are *fortunate* enough to work for an employer who provides a vacation benefit, then sometimes it’s 2 weeks with pay. Others offer vacation with no pay, some offer a bit of vacation with pay. Vacation is under the discretion of the employer. Holidays are also at the discretion of employers as well.. some with paid benefits, others not. Perhaps someday this will change?

    Let’s implement a four-day workweek, I’ll be right there with you, girl! I hear you on the “outdoors are calling” thing too – it’s so hard to be inside over a hot stove when there’s a beautiful spring breeze outside. Oh well, just got to keep pushing on!! ;)

      Agreed, Sarah! I’m thinking salads, ice cream, sippers and popsicles for the months of June – August is in order. No or very little cooking involved! :D

      Thank you Medha! The pesto is quite fabulous in this recipe. I’m attempting to clean out my freezer from last Summer’s abundance of herbs in the form of pesto! hehe! Thank you for your pin! :D
