Mango Naan Pizza

Mango Naan Pizza – Two Ways

Published by

This is one of my favorite simple dinners: naan pizzas! Using naan as a pizza base is a game changer, it makes this recipe super quick and hassle free!

For a more classic version, layer marinara sauce with onions, peppers, and cheese. Top this off with a lightly dressed mango, baby-spinach and arugula salad for more body!
