Meatless Monday: Mediterranean Pizza
Have you ever bought a hunk of feta that comes floating in water? I just did for the first time ever. Dang! That’s good feta. So good that I’ve found myself re-imagining every dish on earth to include feta. It’s a real problem for my husband who hates feta.
This is a fine specimen of my experimentation – if I do say so myself. It’s a pizza made atop whole wheat pita with hummus instead of tomato sauce. Don’t over think it. I promise it’s good.
This meatless Monday I’ll be making it for my husband with mozzarella instead of feta, hold the olives. He wouldn’t appreciate what a difference swimming feta makes. More for me!
