About this Recipe
This appetizer will be a new spring favorite. Pesto, red onions, mozzarella, asparagus, and artichokes come together on store-bought pizza dough for a quick and fresh side. Bacon bits add a welcome heartiness but feel free to omit them to keep this vegetarian. Bring it all together with lots of fresh lemon, and red pepper flakes, if desired.
