- 2 green onions, roughly chopped
- 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Avocado Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

- 2 Tbsp. milk
- 1 green onion, roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1 ripe avocado
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Pizza Toppings
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed overnight in a refrigerator
- 1 1/3 cups shredded Italian Five Cheese blend
- 2 medium tomatoes, seeded, cored, and diced 1/2 inch
- 1–2 firm-ripe avocados, cubed 1/2 inch
- 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
Pizza Pesto
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Avocado Sauce
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth. You may need to stop the food processor and scrape the sides to blend all ingredients well.
Assembling Pizza
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface 1/4″ thick (it does not have to be perfectly round). Pierce the puff pasty with a fork to prevent bubbling and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Spread the pizza pesto evenly over the puff pasty and sprinkle with cheese. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden crisp around the edges.
- Remove the puff pasty from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Then layer on the diced tomatoes, avocado, and red onions.
- Drizzle with avocado sauce as much as you like. Slice into 12 squares and serve immediately.
Notes
- Puff Pastry: I used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets from 17.3 oz/1.1 lbs. pkg. which has two sheets but I only used one.
- Substitutions: See post for all substitutions.
- Leftover Sauce: The ingredients listed are for one pizza, except for Pizza Pesto and Avocado Sauce, which makes enough for a second pizza. Double up on the pizza toppings to make a second pizza and use the second sheet of puff pastry.
