Who loves pizza?

Probably a rhetorical question because, duh! Everyone likes pizza.
Since I turned thirty I've been slowly trying to get my fat ass not so much. Five, almost six, weeks ago I joined an 8 week challenge which has a possibility of a seriously decent payout. I'm probably not going to win but I have definitely seen some major changes in my body since starting. 
And how does that relate to pizza, you're probably asking yourself. 
Well since I'm in the throes of this challenge and my kids asked for homemade pizza for dinner last night I improvised. 
Pizza...salad? 
Alright so I know it sounds a little...weird? But I swear it's good! The key is to use a flavorful marinara as your dressing. Hubs brought home a jar of Simply Nature organic Marinara. 1/2 c is 40 calories! I can definitely get down with that. 

So what you'll need for this interesting salad:
Bagged lettuce. (Or regular if you're not lazy like I clearly am)
Marinara Sauce
Shredded mozzarella 
And your favorite pizza toppings 
I did orange bell peppers, pepperoni, black olives and tomatoes. 

It's such a quick and easy dinner and it's so delicious! My plate last night was less than 400 calories and it was a huge salad and I was SO full! 

Give it a try and let me know what you think.
