We love homemade pizzas at out house! We love adding our favorite toppings and our favorite cheese, and popping them on the grill or in the oven, for a quick and easy snack or meal! Over time we have experimented with various types of crust, and we have several that we like. We have tried homemade dough, dough from the grocery, and frozen dough. We have used tortillas as the crust, along with purchased crust, but these Mini Naan Breads are a family favorite. We all like them! This recipe is super simple and quick. I used purchased Naan Bread and purchased Pizza Sauce, so this may be more of a "how to put together a pizza", than a recipe. I added tasty items from the Farmers Market, like onions, roma tomatoes, and corn. No matter how you look at it, you are going to love these pizzas. For a quick meal or snack, they can't be beat!
Naan Bread Grilled Veggie Pizza
(printable recipe at end of page)
(makes 2 pizzas)
Mini Naan Bread Pizza Sauce 1 Roma Tomato 2 tablespoons of Corn 2-3 tablespoons of Sweet Vidalia Onion Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Fresh Mozzarella Pearls
Spoon pizza sauce on to the Naan Bread. Chop up onion, slice tomato, and cut corn from the cob.
Roast the corn on the grill, or in a frying pan, until it is brown and delicious looking.
Start building your pizza. Add more of what you love, and less, or none of what you don't!
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the sauce and vegetables. Add the fresh mozzarella pearls to the top! They are the best! Place your pizza on a baking sheet and pop it into the pre heated oven at 350 degrees. It should take approx. 7 minutes to bake, then switch to broil for 3 minutes.
If you are grilling the pizza~YUM! Use a temperature of medium, and watch the bottom of the Naan Bread so it doesn't burn. It will taste so good and take approx. 15-20 minutes.
This is definitely ready to eat!

Every BBQ needs a few side dishes to round out the meal, so for Day 3 of #BBQWeek, I made this yummy Charred Corn Salad! Full of flavor and fresh vegetables, like asparagus from #Michigan Asparagus and fresh corn, right off the cob, along with a few more, this makes a great addition to any cookout! Your guests will love the freshness and you will love the fact that you can put this salad together the day before you plan to serve it!
Charred Corn Salad
(printable recipe at end of recipe)
8-10 Asparagus Stalks
drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
salt
2 Ears of Corn
1 small Yellow Pepper
1 medium Orange Pepper
1 White Onion
8-10 mini Red Tomatoes
1 fresh Lime
3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Juice from 1/2 a Lime
Pinch of Salt
Ground Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Sugar ( if needed)
1/2 fresh Avocado
Drizzle asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Place asparagus on the grill, watching it carefully to make sure it does not burn. Turn it often.
Char the corn cobs and the yellow pepper by placing them on the grill, and as they char, keep turning them until they are completely charred.
Remove the corn and pepper from the grill. Place the pepper in a glass bowl and cover the top with plastic wrap. Seal it tight. The heat from the plastic will loosen the skin on the pepper, making it easier to peel the outer skin off. It should be ready to be peeled in 15-20 minutes. Start pulling the peppers skin off. If it does not come off easily, recover the bowl and give the pepper more time. Set the pepper to the side and throw out the skin.
Cut the corn off the cob.
Chop the orange pepper and some slices of the onion. Wrap them together in foil, along with a pat of butter. Place on the grill to become tender.
Chop the top part of your asparagus into pieces. Discard the bottom part.
Mix everything together in a bowl. Chop the avocado and place on the top.
Make the Lime Vinaigrette by adding the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the lime juice, salt and pepper to a small bowl. Whisk as you add the ingredients. Taste, and if too tart, add the sugar.
Pour vinaigrette over salad as you are serving, or in the case of a potluck party, let the vinaigrette sit nearby, so your guests can add their own!

If you like pizza, you will love this homemade Buffalo Chicken Naan Bread Pizza. It is easy to make, using purchased naan bread and pizza sauce, and when you don't feel like making dinner and want to order a pizza instead, you will be glad you made this! I am part of a group of great bloggers all sharing pizza recipes today Find them at the end of this page!
Buffalo Chicken Naan Bread Pizza (printable recipe at end of page) (makes 2 pizzas) 1 Large raw Chicken Breast 1 tablespoon Butter 1 teaspoon minced Garlic 1 tablespoon Butter Medium Onion 2 pieces small Naan Bread 1 cup Pizza Sauce 2 tablespoon Hot Sauce Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Ranch Dressing
Butterfly the chicken breast, trimming off any fat, and taking out the middle vein.
Pan fry the chicken in a tablespoon of butter and a teaspoon of minced garlic.
Chop approx. half of the onion into small diced pieces. Saute in tablespoon of butter. Chop approx. half of the onion into small diced pieces. Saute in tablespoon of butter.
Once chicken has cooled enough to be handled, pull the chicken apart into shredded pieces.
Mix together the pizza sauce and the hot sauce with a tablespoon of butter. Add more hot sauce if you like it hot! Heat in microwave to melt the butter and mix together.
Add shredded chicken to bowl. Soak chicken for a few minutes, then drain sauce from chicken.
Spread pizza sauce on the naan bread. You can see that these pieces are both very different. I like a lot of sauce, so the one on the right is mine, but my husband likes a bit less sauce and his is on the left.
Add a sprinkle of the shredded mozzarella cheese to each bread.
Top the cheese with chicken and onion.
Add more shredded mozzarella and then small chunks of fresh mozzarella .
Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.
If you like a crispier pizza, stick the pizza under the broiler for 5 more minutes, but watch so it doesn't burn.
Cut pizza and drizzle with ranch dressing if desired!
