2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
1 cup (4oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese

Salad Toppings
5 cups romaine lettuce, thinly sliced
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
¼ cup pitted black olives, sliced
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup fat-free or lite Italian salad dressing

¼ cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese, divided in half

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Roll out dough to edge of a baking stone using slightly floured rolling pin. Press garlic over dough and spread evenly. Sprinkle dough with Italian seasoning. Place on bottom oven rack and bake 12-14 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Meanwhile place lettuce, tomato, olives, and red onion in a bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat. Remove crust from oven with cooling rack. Immediately top with mozzarella cheese, then 1/2 the Parmesan cheese. Top with salad mixture; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Cut with a pizza cutter; serve immediately.
