Insalata means “salad.” When you feel like you should eat salad and want to eat pizza, this is your go-to dish. Load a whole-grain base with an explosion of vegetables and let roasting work its flavor magic on the veg.

Ingredients

  • 4 (6") whole wheat pitas
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded, part-skim Mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup thinly sliced Vidalia or other sweet onion
  • 1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper
  • 1 cup quartered grape tomatoes
  • ¼ cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped basil leaves
  • 4 cups packaged gourmet salad greens

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F.
  2. 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 until edges are lightly browned and cheese is bubbly (8 minutes).
  3. 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.
  4. Top each pita with about 1 cup salad. Serve immediately.
