Pita pizza's are always convenient, fun and easy to make as individual pizzas for everyone. Each pita's warm crispy crust is complimented with the crisp icy-cold Greek salad that sits on top. So satisfying and delicious, the Greek salad pita pizzas are amazingly light, fresh tasting, and savory with every bite! So good, you'll want to make these pita pizzas all spring and summer long.
My sister Liz is obsessed with eating Greek salads all the time, and it's because she LOVES feta cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers. So since she adores the ease of making pita pizzas, she decided to make her version of this Greek salad pita pizza!
First, she prepares the Greek salad the way she likes it, making a simple vinaigrette with dried oregano, extra virgin olive oil, a touch of yellow mustard, garlic powder, salt, pepper and red wine vinegar. Then chills it for a few minutes before serving.
To assemble, simply add the chilled Greek salad on top of the still-hot pita, and serve!
It's as easy as that! Best of all, you can pile on the salad as much as you like without any guilt. Simply cut into 4 equal parts and enjoy this satisfying, easy to make pizza.
I made these for my girls the other day for lunch, and the outcome was amazing; they loved it!
Greek salad pita pizzas are definitely a healthy version of serving pizzas to friends and family. It is as much fun to make, as it is to eat! ENJOY!
