I made a huge tomato salad a couple of days ago and got tired of eating it but I never get tired of pizza.

One pound of good pizza dough

Crisco to grease the pizza pan

The tomato salad was to easy.

Four packages of grape tomatoes

Two containers of small mozzarella balls

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper

12 fresh basil leaves

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1/2 cup olive oil

Mix well

Strain the oil off the salad and save it.

Heat the oven to 475 degrees

Grease the 9×12 pan with the crisco

Spread the dough in the pan.

Place three to four tablespoons of the salad oil on the pizza crust and spread evenly.

Start placing the tomatoes and cheese on the dough.

This is where my craziness comes out because I had to line up all the tomatoes and then line up all the cheese until everything was even.

It did look pretty.

Drizzle with a couple more tablespoon of the  salad oil.

Bake for about 15 minutes on the bottom oven rack.

Make sure the crust is nice and brown.

You can also add leftover chicken or shrimp but my favorite is plain.

Save the leftover oil for frying, it is delicious.
