Ingredients
Yields one large, 12-inch pizza or two smaller, 9-inch pizzas.
Pizza:
1 batch easy whole wheat pizza dough or 1 pound store-bought pizza dough (I used Trader Joe's)
2 cups (8 ounces) grated low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 cup lightly packed kale, chopped into small, bite-sized pieces
1 teaspoon olive oil
Optional garnishes: red pepper flakes
Kale pesto (yields about 1½ cups, which will probably leave you with extra):
3 cups packed kale, preferably the Tuscan/lacinato variety, thick ribs removed and roughly chopped (about 1 small bunch)
¾ cup pecans or walnuts
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 small lemon)
2 to 3 cloves garlic, depending on their size
¾ teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup olive oil
