Salad Pizza

My brother and his wife have been making their own pizzas for years; Friday night is pizza night in their house, so there is regular time to experiment! My sister-in-law presented a salad pizza for dinner a few years ago. While it seemed like an odd concept, it tasted so good!

We've caught on to the home-made pizza thing, and our 4 year old loves to contribute. We buy the pre-made crust from the bakery at our grocery store. Just cut the top off the bag about an hour before you're ready to cook, and the dough will do its second rise right there.

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made pizza dough
• olive oil
• dry herbs (italian blend or whatever sounds good)
• crushed garlic
• veggies (tomatoes, bell peppers, broccoli, zucchini...)
• shredded cheese
• lettuce & dressing (I prefer creamy dressing with pizza - poppy seed, ranch or sweet vidalia)

1. Remove dough from fridge one hour before prep. Either cut off the top off the bag or put dough in a greased bowl and leave on the counter
2. Heat oven to 400°
3. Combine in a bowl: herbs with olive oil and crushed garlic. Make enough to spread on the pizza dough.
4. Stretch the dough out on an oiled pan.
5. Cover with seasoned oil.
6. Layer with sliced veggies.
7. Top with cheese.
8. Cook ~:12

While the pizza is cooking, thinly slice or shred lettuce. Toss with salad dressing

Cut pizza into large, foldable slices. Top with salad, fold and enjoy!
