No-Bake Mediterranean Pizza
Border

Before kids and real jobs, we used to frequent this little down-town Greek restaurant. That’s where I wanted to go on my birthday, but also order take-out from when I was too lazy to cook (most days).

These days we don’t eat out very much and even if we did, that place isn’t very vegan friendly. But, every time I make this tzatziki sauce or naan my husband always says it takes him back.

*Screaming kids fading into the background*  

*Ahhhhh… zero responsibly* 

This pizza combines the best of all things: Naan, tzatziki sauce, loads of olives (my favourite!), and the best part is, you don’t even have to bake it!

    Have I told you how obsessed Gabe and I are with these? We make them all the time. Well actually, he does, he’s become a little possessive of this dish! ;)
