Avacado Pizza

Ingredients

Pizza Toppings:
• 1 sheet of puff pastry (I used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets) thawed overnight in refrigerator
• 1½ firm-ripe avocados, cubed ½ inch
• 2 med. tomatoes, seeded and diced ½ inch
• ½ med. red onion, thinly sliced
• 1⅓ cups shredded Italian Five Cheese blend

Pizza Pesto:
• 3 tsp. white vinegar
• 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
• ½ tsp. lemon juice
• ½ tsp. honey
• ⅛ tsp. turmeric
• ¼ tsp paprika
• ½ cup chopped cashews
• ⅔ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 green onions, roughly chopped
• ½ Tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. black pepper
• 1 tsp. ground cumin
• ¼ cup olive oil

Avocado Sauce:
• ½ cup mayo
• ½ cup sour cream
• 2 Tbsp. milk
• 1 green onion, roughly chopped
• 2 garlic cloves
• ½ cilantro, roughly chopped
• 1 avocado
• squeeze of fresh lemon juice
• salt and pepper

Directions:

Pizza Pesto:
1. Combine all ingredients (in a food processor or blender if you have one) until thoroughly mixed.

Avocado Sauce:
1. Combine all ingredients (in a food processor) until thoroughly mixed.

Assembling Pizza:
1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface ¼” thick (it does not have to be perfectly round). Pierce the puff pastry with a fork to prevent bubbling and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
3. Spread the pizza pesto evenly over the puff pastry and sprinkle with cheese. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden crisp around the edges.
4. Remove the puff pastry from the oven and place the prepared tomatoes, red onions, and avocado on top.
5. Drizzle with Avocado Sauce as much or as little as you like and enjoy!

Note:
The ingredients listed are for one pizza, though the Pesto and Avocado Sauce yields enough for a second pizza. You can double the pizza topping ingredients to make a second pizza and use the second sheet of puff pastry.
