When time is tight, and you need a quick, healthy dinner solution, Costco's premade cauliflower pizza is a lifesaver. It provides a great nutrient-dense base that's ready to go as is. But to make it even better, I love adding my own toppings to boost the flavor and nutrition.
With some chicken sausage, a bit of cheese, and grilled onions, this pizza becomes a protein-packed powerhouse. It's perfect for a ViCera meal because it's both nutritious and high in protein, making it a wholesome and satisfying option for the entire family. This easy and delicious twist on a store-bought favorite has become a go-to in our house, and I hope it will in yours too! Let's get started on making this quick and healthy dinner together.
Ingredients:

- 1/4 Onion
- 2 Simple Truth Chicken Sausage Chorizo Style links from Kroger (or similar)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven according to the pizza package instructions.

- Bake the pizza as directed on the package until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
