The classic Margherita pizza was made in the colours of the Italian flag:
Red from the tomato;
White from this bocconcini cheese;
And green from the basil.

Ingredients

1 Pizza Base
1/4 cup tomato puree
2 1/2 oz bocconcini cheese, sliced
1 tablespoon parmesan, grated
1/4 cup basil leaves, shredded
1 tsp olive oil
2 cups arugula
1 avocado sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil & vinaigrette dressing

Preparation

Spread the tomato puree on the pizza base and then top with the sliced bocconcini.
Add the grated parmesan and then the basil leaves and drizzle over 1 tsp of olive oil.
Place in the oven for about 7 minutes.
While the pizza is cooking whip together a small salad.
Make a quick dressing using 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 tbs balsamic vinegar, 1/2 tsp mustard & give a quick stir.
Pour it on the salad leaves & serve with a few slices of avocado & the pizza.
