Note : This pizza sprouted from a combination of recipes from several different RawWoman classes; the crust and raw parmesan from our 'Breads and Pizza' Class, the ' Greek Horiatiki Salad' from our 'Super Salads' Class and the 'Red Pepper Hummus' from our 'Lunch in the Raw' Class. In a reverenced 'toot' of our own horn : this is truly delicious and since it also eliminates the more typical, nut cheese pizza topping it contains significantly less fat than a more traditional raw vegetable pizza. Eliminate the 'RawMesan' Cheese and you reduce the fat again!
