California Pizza Kitchen introduced me to pizza on a salad and I’ve loved it since my high school days. This pizza was overdue for a refresh – even if it hasn’t been quite as long as it has been since high school!
Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza
Ingredients:
1 pizza dough ball
¼ cup tomato sauce/crushed tomatoes
Caesar Salad (3 tablespoons + 1/4 cup)
1 cup mozzarella shredded
1-2 chicken breast (marinated in Caesar dressing), grilled and sliced
1 heart of romaine
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat pizza oven/oven to 400 degrees.
Stretch pizza dough out onto a floured baking pan or pizza stone and top with tomatoes and a drizzle of caesar dressing. Sprinkle cheese on and chicken.
Cook the pizza until crisp and melty – our pizza oven is 1-2 minutes.
Let sit a minute before slicing.
Chop the lettuce and toss with dressing, parmesan, and pepper.
Top the pizza with salad.
Enjoy!
This is the best of both worlds. Cheesy pizza with juicy chicken and then cool crisp lettuce.

These are possibly the most-repeated dish from the blog. We’ve been having these since using a grill pan in our apartment way back when and now have them regularly in the spring and summer. They’re so good and such a crowd-pleaser.
Ranch Chicken Burgers
Ingredients: (for 4)
1 pound ground chicken
1 packet dried ranch dressing/dip mix (~2 teaspoons)
3 tbs ranch dressing
4 rolls
Directions:
Preheat the grill.
Mix together the ground chicken, ranch mix, 1 teaspoon of ranch dressing – reserving the rest for topping.
Form into 4 patties.
Sprinkle with salt & pepper then grill until cooked through 165-degrees being careful not to flip too often. These cook well on a griddle.
Serve on buns with more ranch and any toppings you like!
Enjoy!
We have these often but hadn’t yet this year. The kiddos didn’t remember them and each ate it all! There’s the lesson – repeat a previous dinner, nobody remembers how often you serve something! We each added ranch on the buns and these are great with lettuce, tomato, pickles, or anything! I think the kids add ketchup.
