Lately, when it comes to dinner, I’m all about ease and efficiency. Since I also try to make healthy or healthy-ish recipes, sometimes I have to get creative with ingredients. Pistachios are known as The Skinny NutTM because they are one of the lowest calorie and lowest fat snack nuts.

So what’s the difference between flatbread and pizza? To me, a pizza has very distinct details such as a traditional sauce, cheese, and toppings. A flatbread can get away with fewer toppings and unconventional sauces. That’s why I decided to call this recipe a flatbread rather than pizza because the pesto isn’t your normal sauce – but it does deliver on flavor and texture!

If you have tried basil pesto pizza and enjoyed it, you’ll be obsessed with pistachio basil pesto flatbread. What’s great about this pesto is you can spread it on flatbreads or pizza, like we’re doing, or serve it on crostini, spread on sandwiches, or even mix it in pasta.

The flavors from the pistachios and basil blend beautifully in a spreadable pesto sauce for the base of your flatbread. Of course, I sprinkled on dairy-free cheese first, then topped with kalamata olives, salami, bell pepper, and red onion. Here’s my secret to taking this flatbread to the next level: Right before serving, drizzle some honey all over! Seriously, honey is a game changer here. Try it and tell me what you think!
