Apple & Swiss Pizza
Our dietitians' favouriteDiscover a new way to make pizza. First, add a little applesauce to the tomato sauce and use Swiss cheese instead of traditional Mozzarella. Then prepare a salad with baby spinach and cubed apples to serve as a side dish or to add as a topping once the pizza comes out of the oven. Freshness, taste and texture guaranteed!
