How To MakeDiet Type: Paleo
Shopping List

- 1 1/2 cups romaine or red leaf lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup shredded paleo mozzarella-style cheese (Note 1)
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- garlic powder, to taste
- paleo ranch dressing, to taste (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Step 1: Pre-bake the crust according to package directions.
- Step 2: Add the following evenly over the crust (in order): shredded mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, and bacon. Sprinkle with garlic powder.
- Step 3: Place the pizza back into the hot oven until cheese is melted. For my crust, this took about 4 minutes under the broiler. Meanwhile, toss the lettuce lightly with ranch dressing.

Recipe Notes
Note 1: For a homemade paleo cheese sauce, try White Cashew Cheese Sauce. Since this nut-based sauce will burn at high temperatures, only place it in the oven for under 30 seconds. The residual heat of the pre-baked crust will naturally soften the cheese. Note 2: 1 cup of cooked, crumbled bacon is equivalent to about 3 slices.
