Try to Say It Fast, Summer Sausage Salami Cilantro Pizza

Pepperoni takes all the pizza glory in our family (pepperoni and green olives on thin crust for me), but the salty circles sit on the bench for this recipe. Even my daughter, who only eats cheese pizza, loved this.

My favorite easy salami pasta salad inspired me to make Summer Sausage Salami Cilantro Pizza. Although the salad doesn’t contain cilantro, I was thinking it did so when I bought groceries I picked some up. I also added basil. It turns out they are mighty delicious on this pizza.

You don’t have to use the same ingredients I did – use herbs and cheeses that you like, or omit any that you don’t like. I used summer sausage for this one. (What’s the difference between summer sausage and salami?)

Start with a ready-to-bake pizza crust. Stir together olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture onto the unbaked crust.

Chop the parsley, basil, cilantro, green onion, and salami or summer sausage.

Sprinkle the basil, cilantro, and parsley on the crust, saving a little cilantro to sprinkle on last.

Place thin slices of summer sausage or salami over the herbs.

Lightly (or to taste) scatter bits of green onion onto the meat.

Add a layer of shredded parmesan cheese.

Blanket with a layer of shredded mozzarella.

Place more meat on top and toss on the remaining cilantro and sprinkle a few dashes of oregano.

Bake according to pizza crust directions.

Slice and serve.
