Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chopped spinach, thawed from frozen, squeezed dry
• 2 tbsp. crumbled fat-free feta cheese
• 1/2 tsp. crushed garlic
• 1 stick light string cheese
• 1 whole-wheat or high-fiber pita
• 3 tbsp. canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 thin slices red onion, rings separated and halved
• 1 tbsp. sliced black olives
• 4 slices plum tomato
• Dash dried oregano or 1/4 tsp. fresh oregano
• Optional: salt and black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine spinach, feta cheese, and garlic. Mix well and set aside.

Break string cheese into thirds and place in a food processor or blender -- blend at high speed until cheese takes on a shredded or grated consistency. (Or just tear string cheese into pieces and roughly chop.) Set aside.

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray, and lay pita in center. Spread crushed tomatoes over the pita, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Evenly top with spinach-feta mixture, and then cover with shredded/grated string cheese.

Place onion, olive, and tomato slices on top of your "pizza," and sprinkle with oregano.

Bake in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes, until pizza is hot and string cheese has melted.

If you like, season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut into wedges, and enjoy!
