Meatless Monday: Summer Vegetable Pizza

Published: July 11, 2011

Summer is in full swing.  The market is full of seasonal fruits and veggies just waiting to be used. This recipe is a lighter version of this classic comfort food.  I used red pepper, eggplant, onion, and tomato but feel free to add or omit whatever veggies to suit your own preferences.  For a gourmet touch, you might want to add goat cheese or fresh arugula leaves.  This is a perfect dish to highlight the foods of summer.
