Leftover Pizza Pizza Salad

Leftover Pizza Pizza Salad is a lovely meal, with croutons from leftovers and other fresh ingredients with pizza flair, like pepperoni, tomatoes, olives, anchovies and mozzarella.

We have a family tradition that Friday night is pizza night or at least it almost always was when our girls were young and still living at home. These days we do pizza night way less often but it’s still a mostly Friday night treat when we do. 

We always order extra because leftover pizza makes the best breakfast. It also makes fabulous croutons for snacking on or sprinkling on salad, especially  Domino’s thin and crispy extravaganza, which is what I used for this salad. 

Leftover Pizza Pizza Salad

Use the ingredients list as a jumping off point for your leftover pizza salad. Hate anchovies, leave them out. Don’t like olives, try artichoke hearts instead. Whatever your favorite pizza toppings are, they will probably go great in a salad!

Ingredients

1-2 slices leftover pizza

1 romaine heart, chopped 

2 large tomatoes, cut in wedges

12 slices pepperoni

1 small shallot, finely sliced into rings

10 black olives, pitted and chopped

3-4 anchovies in oil, drained, cut into pieces

1/4 cup or 60ml Caesar dressing – from this recipe https://www.foodlustpeoplelove.com/2013/03/caesar-dressing-with-anchovies-or-capers.html or store-bought

Method

Preheat your oven to 375°F or 190°C and prepare baking pan by lining it with baking parchment or a silicone liner. 

Use a sharp knife to cut the leftover pizza into small pieces. 

Bake them on the prepared pan in your preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until they are browned and crunchy. 

Slice the pepperoni into strips. Pit and chop the black olives. 

Peel and slice the shallot into thin rings. 

Chop the lettuce and cut the tomatoes into wedges. Arrange them both on a large serving platter. 

Scatter the pepperoni strips, black olives, shallot rings and cheese over them. 

Blot the anchovies on a paper towel to remove the excess oil and cut them into pieces. Dot the pieces around the salad. 

Serve the pizza salad with the leftover pizza croutons and the Caesar dressing. 

Enjoy!
