This pizza is pretty much up to you-I used yellow squash and asparagus, as my grocery store has already cut up mixes, and I thought it would be a good combo. Zucchini would be fabulous, maybe some hearty mushrooms to beef it up. This pizza is quick and easy, and can be grilled on the bbq, or made inside in the oven. With the holiday coming up, this is a great alternative for those who might not like the normal hamburger/hot dog menu, or just to add some bling to your already fabulous array of 4th of July delights. Recipe featured on foodgawker.com
1 large pre-baked pizza crust or 2 small crusts (store bought or homemade, whatever you choose, just bake first)
1 large yellow squash cut into thin slices
1 1/2 cups cut asparagus
1 large tomato chopped
3 T your favorite Italian dressing (2/1)
1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 450 or grill to high heat
Saute squash and asparagus over medium high heat with 2 T italian dressing until crisp, about 4 minutes
Spread tomatoes over pizza crust and brush with remaining italian dressing. Top with sauteed vegetables and add cheese (for a little spice, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Bake for about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. On grill should take about 5-7 minutes to melt cheese, but watch carefully depending on how high your grill gets
Serve hot
I love a good veggie pizza. It’s definitely a perfect summer time meal!
That looks so good. I love homemade pizza.
We used to making vegetarian pizzas at home with spinach, tofu and eggplant. I never have thought that asparagus would also make as a good ingredient.
Oh that looks like a great little pizza. I made pizza with my boys one time. I think its a great family activity and they can decide what they want on their own pizza.
Looks delicious! I actually just made a similar pizza myself last night for dinner
looks really good. To tell you the truth, I don’t think I have never not put meat on a pizza. If it is going to look this yummy, I may try!
That looks so tasty. I love homemade pizza.
My goto food is pizza! We typically get a veggie pie along with the regular ones for the kids.. of course well done.
I don’t think I’ve ever had zucchini in my pizza. Sounds interesting but I pretty much like anything on it anyway.
Looks really good! We planted a big garden this year so I am always looking for new vegetable recipes and this one looks like one I would definitely make. Thanks for sharing it!
This sounds fabulous! I think Pizza is truly my favorite food and this one looks incredible.
This is great, Thanks for this recipe. I will going to try this.

A perfect meal for this chilly Sydney weather - loving all that cheese action
ps - just started following you on twitter so I can see more of your yummy treats!

Yummy my summer pizza recipe doesn’t look or sounds as delicious as yours
I prefer store bought crust because it’s too tasking doing the crust. I’ll try doing this one.
Any kind of pizza is good with me!!
This looks so good. I will have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
I never thought to put squash or asparagus on a pizza but of course it would be delicious. This is a fun summer share!
I love pizza and this sounds really good. I will have to try to make this and I think it would be good during Lent. Thanks for sharing.
That looks and sounds wonderful! Love veggies on pizza vs. meat, a much more healthier option!
Asparagus pizza? Never heard of, need to try this one
This pizza looks so delicious! And just perfect for summer. I love the addition of asparagus.
Pinning!
This sounds like a great pizza. I want one now. Thank you for sharing.
This looks fantastic and something that I could eat. I cannot eat regular traditional pizza due to the red sauce gives me awful acid problems. I have been trying to search for a white pizza without the red sauce and this is something I have been looking for. Thanks!
That pizza looks delicious! My fiance set out on a mission to perfect his own pizza dough and we have been making our own pizzas ever since. So much better than ordering delivery!
Holly, i love making pizza at home!
Hmm one of my favorite foods is pizza, we always make a vegetable pizza when we go to my sister in laws who does not like meat.
would be a good addition or a sub for the meat pizza.
healthy and delicious are two great combinations!
Yum! I might have to make this with my farmers market loot!
I’m writing up a pizza recipe post right now! Pizza is so versatile.

That was an easy and great pizza recipe, gotta try it this weekend.
I am a notorious pizza lover and this one looks absolutely perfect!
YES, it’s still summer!!!

Pizza is a huge crush of mine!

I love homemade pizza-so much better than store-bought! I need to try these flavors out!

Pizza is a favorite of mine!
Great combination of ingredients I like the idea of using squash, asparagus, tomatoes and those cheeses together!
