My daughter went for the conventional route for her homemade pizza. It was served with an arugula vinaigrette salad topped with garlic herb cheese crumbles.  All quite delicious!

• One package fresh mozzarella cheese

• 1 container cherry tomato medley (red,yellow, orange)

• Olive Oil or Lemon Olive Oil

• Arugula
• Garlic Herb Goat Cheese

Directions:
