Put a fun spin on your pizza night with these fast and flavorful flatbreads! They’re easy, loaded with veggies and hit the spot every single time!

Italian chopped salad flatbreads are the perfect way to have your salad and pizza too! They're fast, so easy to make and are loaded with big robust flavors!

Pizza or salad… Pizza or salad… Ugh, don’t you hate it when you can’t decide?! Well now you don’t have too loves because this easy Italian chopped salad flatbread has it all! Crispy crust, zesty marinara and a fresh and flavorful salad tossed with the best Italian dressing to tie it all together! It just doesn’t get any better than this for a delicious weeknight meal!

An easy Italian salad made with lettuce, tomatoes, salami, red onion, pepperoncini and black olives and tossed in a zesty homemade Italian dressing!

Ingredients

This is definitely one of the easiest meals I’ve ever made and it was so good too! All you need are the ingredients below!

  • Salad fixings: Make sure to chopped your salad ingredients into small equal sizes. This makes it easier to cut and eat once they’re on your flatbread.
  • Italian dressing: I love using a homemade dressing for this flatbread but feel free to use your favorite; store bought or homemade. (Recipe for my Italian dressing is below.)
  • Marinara/pizza sauce
  • Flatbread or Thin Pizza Crust

All I did was crisp up a flatbread in the oven, toss together a few ingredients for a salad, spread some marinara over the crispy flatbread and then topped it all off with my salad. How easy does that sound?

What kind of flatbread do I use?

I personally prefer using a thinner flatbread for this recipe but you can use any flatbread/pizza crust that’s your favorite too! My personal favorite brand is Brookyln Bread Thin Pizza Crusts. (Not sponsored, I just really love their flatbreads!)

  • Tip for getting a crispy flatbread: Use a pizza stone! This works wonders loves! I always put our pizza stone in the oven AND THEN turn the oven on so that it’s preheating the stone while I prepare the rest of my ingredients. When the oven’s ready, I just place my flatbread on the stone and bake it according to the package directions. It comes out perfect every time!
Crispy flatbread, zesty marinara and your favorite Italian salad are all you need to make this delicious meal! It's absolutely perfect for a busy weeknight dinner!

How to make an easy Italian dressing

Even though I love making my own dressing, you can definitely use your favorite store bought dressing instead too! Here’s how I make my dressing below:

  • 1/3 cup extra light tasting olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste

Just whisk these ingredients together in a bowl and pour the dressing over your salad right before topping your flatbread.

If you've never tried salad on pizza then you need to asap! These individual flatbreads are so flavorful, fun to make and are perfect for a quick meal!

Other salad mix-in ideas

One of the best parts about this recipe is that it’s completely customizable! (Which makes it so much fun for a family dinner night too! 😉 ) If you don’t like any of the salad ingredients I used, then you can simply swap them out for a different ingredient that you love! Here are a few other ingredient ideas that would taste amazing on these flatbreads too!

  • Chopped chicken
  • Chopped pepperoni
  • Chickpeas
  • Artichoke hearts
  • Sun dried tomatoes
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Bell pepper/mini peppers
  • Cucumbers
  • Feta cheese

I hope you all love these flatbreads just as much as we do! Have the best day loves!
