- Just before serving, toss the greens and vegetables in the dressing mixture.
- Put this salad on top of the pizza bases. Sprinkle on top with parmesan cheese.

The proportion of the pesto and mayonnaise in the dressing mixed with the crunchy topping is just perfect...neither pungent nor creamy.It tastes great on the herbed pizza base.
