Pizza, everybody loves it, but we don’t always love the carbs or calories. Well guess what? While you can use a traditional pizza crust to make this recipe, you don’t have to because there is a healthier grain free, low carb option. I made this gorgeous California Chicken Club Salad Pizza! (Cauliflower Crust-Paleo-Keto) with Cali’flour Foods Pizza Crusts, and trust me, you won’t miss the carbs!

The Crust!
If you have been a viewer of my blog for a while now, you know I love using cauliflower in place of rice and mashed potatoes, but I never jumped on the cauliflower pizza crust bandwagon. Why? Basically because until now I would have had to make the crust myself (yup, laziness won out). But now that delicious, low carb pizza crust can be delivered to your door I am all about the cauliflower pizza crust! Also, take a look at that Cali’flour Pizza Crust label below to see why I am so happy. Yup, 60 calories and 1 net carb per serving!

Make This Recipe Paleo or Keto:
In an effort to make everyone happy I will offer this recipe several ways:
Don’t Care? Use any crust you wish!
Paleo: use Cali’flour Pizza Crust of your choice and skip the mozzarella cheese
Keto: use whichever crust you prefer and cheese it up!
All variations can be dressed with my my dairy free ranch recipe or have Tessemae’s or Primal Kitchen’s Ranch Dressing delivered to your door.
Can I just say my daughter came over after we photographed this recipe, helped me eat it after, and has made this recipe at least 5 times in the last two weeks! It’s so good and super healthy!
So What Else Can You Make With Cali’flour Crusts?
Well let’s see… wraps, egg cups, lasagna, avocado toast, crackers, chips, grilled cheese sandwiches, and you can use them in place of naan, or pita bread (dipped in hummus they are divine!), basically whatever you use bread for, you can use these Cali’flour Foods crusts for instead!

The California Club Salad Pizza:
I love adding salad to my pizzas. I do it all the time, but it’s usually a really simple arugula, lemon juice and olive oil combo. This time I went all out with a fresh romaine salad that includes all your favorite club sandwich ingredients…tomatoes, bacon, avocado and chicken! To keep it simple I use rotisserie chicken, but you could also use leftover roasted chicken.

This is right up my alley! I have been using cauliflower in everything these days and it makes such a great sub when watching your carbs. Love tessamae’s dressing too.
Sadly this isn’t available where I am, but if it was, such a great go to to make home healthy pizza.
