‘Tis the season for pizza and salad for dinner. It is super simple to make and I can make endless variations of pizzas. It was a busy night with meetings and a rehearsal so we used packaged pizza dough. You can easily make your own dough. I have used my bread machine to make dough and also purchased packaged dough. Our local grocery store also has balls of dough for sale for about $1.75. Whichever you choose this makes a simple meal!
Verdict:
My entire family love this dish. My son added extra hot sauce to his and I left off the blue cheese dressing on mine. I love dishes that are easy to customize and we don’t have to make 4 separate dishes to find something we all can eat.
