Grilled Peaches & Spinach Pesto Pizza

Grilled Peaches & Spinach Pesto Pizza

On Sunday I shared a simple and delicious recipe for Spinach Pesto and promised to show several ways to use it besides your typical dip. 

Everyone in the house kept saying they wish we’d had something to munch on so I started rummaging through our refrigerator to come up with appetizing bites to satisfy my crew.  I spotted some peaches, Bocconcini Mozzarella, fresh spinach, a balsamic reduction, and Naam (a leavened, oven-baked flatbread found in the cuisines of West, Central and South Asia). Hmm I had the perfect appetizer to concoct that I was sure they’d all enjoy.

I decided to make a Grilled Peaches & Spinach Pesto Pizza with a Balsamic Drizzle.  It was tasty, satisfying and quick and easy to put together.  You can make the balsamic reduction or purchase some making this effortless!

Here’s how I made it…………………………….Be sure to stop back later this week for more recipes using this Spinach Pesto!
