I know I’m not the only one that likes to sometimes add fresh vegetables to what may be a takeout or frozen meal.  I love adding a fresh element to brighten up the meal and at the same time it’s added nutritional value doesn’t hurt.   

For lunch on Friday I made Freschetta® Canadian Style Bacon and Pineapple Pizza that I picked up at Publix supermarket.  I made a marinated tomato salad which complemented the pizza.  Freschetta® is focused on using quality ingredients when making their pizza and it’s evident on the first bite.  I love how the crust rises during the baking process and had a fresh not frozen taste. 

Publix carries a variety so be sure to pop in and look for the Naturally Rising, Brick oven or the new Artisan crust; be sure to take advantage of the in-store promotion from 5/19 – 6/8 where you can get 2 Freschetta Pizzas for $10 I used the Naturally Rising crust and was pleasantly surprised.    For my tomato salad I used campari tomatoes but any type of tomato will work well.  The tomatoes were cut into wedges then tossed in homemade vinaigrette which is so simple to make.  I always make vinaigrette rather than buy the store bought stuff because it takes just a few minutes to make and it tastes so much better.

Marinated Tomato Salad

1 lb tomatoes cut into wedges

Salad greens

2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp chopped parsley

1 tsp sugar

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

Place tomatoes in a bowl.  To make the vinaigrette place all other ingredients except the salad greens in a jar and shake and combine.  Pour over tomatoes and let sit for about 15 minutes then place over salad greens when ready to serve and toss with a little bit of the vinaigrette.
