Insalata Pizzas

By doroalry

Make a pita pizza in the oven or on the grill for a quick and easy dinner. Top store-bought pitas with garlic, cheese, onions, tomatoes, olives, and basil. A drizzle of cider vinegar adds a sweet-tart flavor to the veggie-packed dish. Dive in with a knife and fork, or fold and eat wrap-style.

Ingredients

• 4 (7-inch) pitas
• 2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
• 1 cup (4 ounces) preshredded part-skim Mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced Vidalia or other sweet onion
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons extravirgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 cup quartered grape tomatoes
• 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped basil leaves
• 4 cups packaged gourmet salad greens

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 475°.

Place pitas on a baking sheet. Spread 1/2 teaspoon garlic on each pita. Sprinkle each pita with 1/4 cup cheese, and divide onion evenly among pitas. Bake at 475° for 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and cheese is bubbly.

While pitas bake, combine vinegar, oil, and pepper in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Stir in tomatoes, olives, and basil. Add salad greens, and toss gently to coat.

Place 1 pita on each of 4 plates; top each pita with about 1 cup salad. Serve immediately.
