My cookbook is here! 
Bring the pizzeria home with this easy chopped salad and these air fryer tortilla pizza ‘croutons’.
Pizza night does not have to be a takeout situation. You can easily make this chopped salad and tortilla pizzas at home in under 30 minutes. The tortilla pizzas are one of my family’s favorite snacks.
Another bonus of this recipe is that you don’t really have to cook anything in a pan or the oven. It all quickly comes together on you counter top.
If you like this salad you will love my Viral La Scala Salad or my 1905 Columbia’s Salad or my traditional Italian Chopped Salad.
