Baked Lean Cuisine pepperoni pizza with green salad
When the freezer holds a box of french bread pizza, dinner is minutes away. A quick bake on the oven shelf plus a side salad turns a weeknight shortcut into something that feels intentional. Serves two with almost no hands-on time.

To buy
- 4 ounces mixed salad greens
- 3 tablespoons vinaigrette or lemon juice
From your shelf
- 1 box (two pieces) Lean Cuisine french bread pepperoni pizza
Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil
- pinch salt
- pinch pepper
- Heat the oven to 425°F [220°C]. Arrange the two pepperoni pizza pieces on a baking sheet and slide onto the middle rack. Set a timer for 18 minutes.
- While the pizza bakes, toss 4 ounces of mixed salad greens with 2 tablespoons of oil, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, and 3 tablespoons of vinaigrette or lemon juice in a large bowl until coated.
- When the pizza is golden and heated through, divide between two plates alongside the salad.
Note If you have fresh tomatoes or cucumbers on hand, add them to the salad. Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for one day, though the bread softens. Serve with a cold drink and extra napkins for the pepperoni.
