Mango salsa pizza

May 29, 2020

Recipe

In this twist on a traditional pizza, mango salsa replaces tomato sauce and cheese.

Serves 4

To peel a mango, cut the mango in half, working around the pit. Place half on cutting board flesh-side up and score 1/4-inch squares in the flesh. Don't cut through the peel. Turn the half inside out and cut the fruit away from the skin.

Heat the oven to 425 F. Lightly coat a 12-inch round pan with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, mix together the peppers, onions, mango, pineapple, lime juice and cilantro. Set aside.

Roll out dough and press into the pan. Place in the oven and cook about 15 minutes.

Take the pizza crust out of the oven and spread with mango salsa. Place the pizza back into the oven and bake until the toppings are hot and the crust is browned, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Cut the pizza into 8 slices and serve immediately.

1/2 cup chopped mango
