If you are looking for something a little healthier for pizza night, this pizza is for you. Asparagus, tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella baked on a homemade pizza crust. Delicious!
And that is coming from someone that doesn’t like asparagus. Yes, I am the only non-asparagus lover in my family, but cover it in cheese and stick it on a pizza crust and I am all for it. This was really good!
What are your thoughts on asparagus? Do you love it or hate it?

Oh my goodness! That looks incredible. I have a new plan for pizza night this Friday. Thanks!
I love asparagus. I wrap it in damp paper towels and microwave it for a few minutes until it is crisp-tender then drizzle it with a sour cream/lemon/dill mixture. Yum.
This pizza looks delicious and makes me wish I’d bought asparagus at the store. I’ll add these ingredients to my shopping list. 🙂
this looks so wonderful! I love asparagus and what a fresh way to enjoy it.
