Margherita Pizza with Side Salad

Crisp pizza bases with tomato, mozzarella and basil, with a lemony salad.

Ingredients

• 2 ready-made pizza bases
• 300 g passata
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 250 g mozzarella
• 15 g fresh basil
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 100 g baby leaf salad
• 1 cucumber
• 150 g cherry tomatoes
• 1 lemon

Method

1. Heat the oven to 220C (200C fan). Put a baking tray for each pizza base in the oven to heat up.
2. Spread the passata over the pizza bases, leaving a border around the edge.
3. Sprinkle with the oregano and a little salt and pepper, then tear over the mozzarella.
4. Carefully slide the pizzas onto the hot trays. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the crust is crisp and the cheese is bubbling.
5. Meanwhile, slice the cucumber and halve the tomatoes. Toss with the salad leaves, olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and a little salt and pepper.
6. Scatter the basil over the pizzas, slice and serve with the salad.
