Smoked salmon paired with red onions and capers, lemon is a classic combination and never fails to tingle our taste buds. Pizza is usually a warm and gooey dish, but just because it’s hot outside doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it. Freshen up the date night pizza you’re used to with this combo. And instead of baking pizza dough, simply build your pie on a precooked dough or even toasted bruschetta crackers for an easy summer dinner.
