🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, swap the fresh mozzarella for a plant-based cheese that melts well. If you need to avoid tree nuts, use nut-free pesto and leave out the almonds, or replace the bread with a gluten-free roll if wheat is a concern.
What to serve with it
Serve with a bright soup like tomato basil or minestrone, or add crisp chips and extra fruit for a fuller lunch. A sparkling water or light white wine keeps the fresh, herby flavors feeling balanced and casual.
