Sunny Wholegrain Margherita Pizza with a fresh twist
Wholegrain Margherita Pizza & salad with pear, burrata and prosciutto brings a taste of Italy to your table in a modern, effortless way. You get a crisp wholegrain base, a quick garlicky tomato passata sauce with oregano, and melty mozzarella—simple, classic, and always satisfying. The side salad is the real show-stealer: peppery rocket topped with fresh pear wedges, creamy burrata and delicate prosciutto for a perfectly balanced sweet–salty bite. It’s ideal for busy weeknights, but also impressive enough for a relaxed weekend lunch with friends.
Why Wholegrain Margherita Pizza works so well
This recipe is all about contrast and freshness: warm, savory pizza paired with a cool salad that pops with fruit, citrus and balsamic. The wholegrain crust makes the meal more filling, while rocket and pear add vitamins and a naturally lighter feel. Burrata and prosciutto bring protein and richness, so you get a dinner that feels indulgent without being heavy.
Smart prep tips and easy variations
Mix the tomato sauce first so the garlic and oregano can bloom while the oven heats. Slice mozzarella thinly for faster melting and a crispier crust. When slicing the pear, keep the pieces thin and even so every bite stays juicy and fresh. Prefer a milder green? Swap rocket for baby spinach. For a meat-free option, replace prosciutto with roasted chickpeas or grilled tofu.
Serving ideas and perfect pairings
Serve the pizza straight from the oven with fresh basil scattered on top. Plate the salad family-style and tear the burrata over it at the last moment for a beautiful, creamy finish. A sparkling lemon water or homemade iced tea makes a refreshing non-alcoholic pairing.
