Grated part-skim mozzarella 1 cup
Fresh basil, chopped ½ cup
Olive oil 1 tablespoon
Balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon
Garlic cloves, minced 2
Refrigerated pizza dough 10 ounces
Grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons
  1. Directions

  3. Meanwhile, prepare grill and coat with cooking spray (or cook on nonstick aluminum foil).
