Spring Green Pizza

It finally feels like Spring in my parts. I can't say that this is my favourte season, sorry spring but autumn has you beat, but I definatly LOVE feeling the warmer temps, having longer nights and seeing green grass after the long Canadian winter. This pizza looks just like that, GREEN. The perfect meal for Sunday brunch or a Saturday night appetizer. Enjoy!
