Delicious, Cheap, Healthy and Did I Mention Delicious?

So I found this recipe today on the Southern Living website(which is the BEST site for recipes and my sister is a Southern Living At Home consultant and I am goign to have an online party in August.. they have great stuff for the home so stay tuned.. if your interested leave me a comment) and it looked really easy and super healthy for pizza. Let me tell you this pizza was AMAZING. And, Rob loved it too.. I had to share the recipe because it was so yummy. Oh and did I mention that for 2 slices of pizza its only 298 calories and 13 grams of protein!




Quick Pizza Margherita

Ingredients

1 (10-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough

Cooking spray

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 garlic clove, halved (I used the refrigrated minced garlic and lightly brushed it over pizza)

2 Slicing tomatoes, thinly sliced

1 cup (4 ounces) shredded fresh mozzarella cheese

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil (if you don't have fresh basil, you can get this in the produce section)

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper


Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°.
Unroll crust dough onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; pat into a 13 x 11-inch rectangle. Bake at 400° for 8 minutes. Remove crust from oven, and brush with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Rub crust with cut sides of garlic.
Arrange tomato slices on crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border; sprinkle evenly with cheese, a dashof salt and pepper. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until cheese melts and crust is golden.
Combine 1/2 teaspoon oil and vinegar, stirring with a whisk.
Sprinkle pizza evenly with sliced basil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the vinegar mixture evenly over the pizza. Cut pizza into 8 pieces.
