It was when I was looking at an American news site. There was an article about American Summer Fete Foods, and my eyes were glued on one food. It was a slice of Pizza and the topping was Pickled Cucumber. I wanted to taste it and searched for recipes. It seems many people use Sour Cream and Mayonnaise for the sauce. Today I tried to make it using my ‘Easy Pizza Base’ and the Pizza was absolutely delicious! I swear whoever invented this Pizza was genius. If you love Pickled Dill Cucumber, you got to try this Pizza.
