Peg and Chelsea are not only our second family, but amazing cooks! Like us, they like to eat and cook healthy which is why this creation of theirs is featured on our blog. This salad pizza is great for a lunch, an appetizer, or a dinner. Everyone, even the men in your family, will love and enjoy this tasty treat!
Ingredients:
1 package of pizza dough (We get ours from the frozen section in our grocery store- we get whole wheat if they have it!)
5 plum tomatoes, chopped and seeded
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 bag romaine lettuce
1 TBS olive oil
Parmesan cheese-optional
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Follow instructions on package and thaw pizza dough. Take a cookie sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Carefully spread apart the dough to cover the bottom of the cookie sheet. (If you want a yummy thick crust, leave the edges thicker than the middle.) Pour the olive oil in a small bowl. Take a pastry brush and spread the dough with olive oil. (You most likely will not use a full tablespoon. You just want a light cover.) Chop and seed the tomatoes into small chunks and spread over the dough. Slice the onion and spread over the pizza, as well. Bake for 15 minutes or until crust is slightly golden brown. While the pizza is baking, mince garlic and combine with balsamic vinegar in small bowl. Rinse and dry the bag of romaine lettuce and place in large bowl. Pour as much of the vinegar and garlic mixture you would like over the lettuce. Take pizza out and sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza. Put back in the oven until the cheese is melted. Once the cheese has melted, take out of the oven and slice the pizza into as many pieces as you would like. Put a slice on a plate and scoop as much salad as you would like over the pizza. If you would like, you can add shards or sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of the salad pizza. Enjoy! :)
