Tie-Dye Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Carnival Multi-Color Cauliflower from Salad Savoy

Here’s a colorful idea to kickstart the kids’ excitement about eating more veggies in 2019! Use Salad Savoy’s Carnival Multicolor Cauliflower to create a tie-dye pizza crust. The secret to crafting the perfect cauliflower pizza crust is to use your juicer to create cauliflower rice. The juicer gets the water content out, which is vital for avoiding a soggy crust! Discard the cauliflower juice and use the pulp to make your crust.

You can also use a blender, food processor, or grater to create cauliflower rice. With these methods, however, you will need to steam the rice and then squeeze all of the water content out by hand before shaping it into a crust.

Don’t forget to top your pizza with fruits and veggies! Remember, kids are more likely to eat things they have a hand in, so let them help pick the toppings and place them on the pizza.
