Smoked Salmon Pizza
I had this pizza as an appetizer at an event I attended a couple of years ago. As you can see I simply fell in love with it! It's easy, delicious and looks elegant.
Make it easy on yourself and use a store bought pre-made pizza crust, heat it up just a tinge and then layer the ingredients. POOF!! It's a great no cook appetizer for brunch, cook-outs, and even for an afternoon lunch with the ladies. You can dress it up with mixed greens and a vinagrette and some cherry tomatoes or serve it with gazapacho or your favorite chilled soup, the possiblities are endless.
