I hosted this weeks dinner: and I made Polenta Pizza and had a salad bar!
This was admittedly the first time I cooked with polenta, so for the sake of not totally screwing it up I used Trader Joe's organic pre-made polenta in a tube.
In my head the plan was to roll out the polenta like dough, but it isn't as roll-able as I thought it would be. Since I wasn't sure how it would turn out I made some individual polenta pizza by cutting the loaf of polenta into circles

I also tried mashing some up, mostly using the heal of my hand, to press them together, which worked pretty well to create a larger 'crust'
For the large Polenta Pizza I used:
Sauteed red onion
portobello onion
spinach
fresh roasted red peppers
Marinara sauce, (Trader Joes) jazzed up with some yellow onion and pizza seasoning
Mozzarella Cheese
Goat Cheese
For the individual polenta pizzas I made a huge array using various toppings such as:
the ones listed above
fresh tomato
basil leaves
mozzarella
pesto sauce
The Pizza was served with the salad bar including:
romaine
baby spinach
red peppers
green peppers
mushrooms
tomatoes
carrots
peas
corn
salsa
hummus
raisins
dried cranberries
walnuts
cage free hard boiled eggs
goat cheese
