Summer is near, and this means that most (if not all) of the children are already on vacations, the daily routines at home become longer, at the same time not leaving a whole lot of time to prepare meals. And I don’t mean this in a negative tone at all, in fact quite the opposite, as this implies that as a mother one needs to develop the most practical side of oneself as possible.
Even for people like me, who try to be organized as much as possible, there are occasions when this just doesn’t work, because when you have younger children there are always inconveniences that happen on the way. But this has also a positive side, as this somehow pushes oneself to bring out the creativity to make dinner.
Pizzas have always been by far the favorite for most of the children in general. And this happens because the pizza toppings are diverse, or pizas may also be enjoyed in a classic way with just cheese on top.
Can you imagine a delicious slice of pizza freshly baked, plus a super salad? Well this is what I present today thanks to the courtesy of Freschetta®, who have a variety of flavors and they use quality ingredients in their pizzas. Besides, Artisan Crust has 3 whole grains, which makes a delicious and crunchy dough.
To purchase this delicious pizza, you just need to go to a Publix supermarket and take advantage of the super offer of 2 Freschetta® Pizzas for $10 (US dollars) until June 8th, 2016. You can find these pizzas as shown in the photo, in aisle #9, where the frozen meals are located.
Now, in order to make a perfect combination, I wanted to prepare this super beet salad, which can be grated cooked or raw, mixed with other vegetables, and with an exquisite orange dressing.
This is a simple meal, but perfect for sharing with the family this summer.

What a beautiful salad! And yes, you are so right, pizza is a favorite amongst children. We eat that exact pizza every Wednesday night in my house with a salad as well. But, I need to give your recipe a try. Thanks for sharing! #client
