Fresh Cherry Pizza

Cherry season means fresh, light flavors are the star of the show. While cherries may not be the first topping that comes to mind for pizza, they certainly should be. Fresh cherries add a pop of sweetness and pair perfectly with pesto, mozzarella cheese, and slices of shallot or red onion. This fruit and veggie pizza is delicious on its own, or you could add meat such as ground sausage or prosciutto for extra protein.
