Insalata Pizza

Insalata pizza
The-Skipper-Bunch

4 (7-inch) pitas
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
1 cup pre-shredded part-skim Mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup thinly sliced Vidalia or other sweet onion
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 cup quartered grape tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced black olives
2 tablespoons chopped basil leaves
4 cups bagged salad greens

-- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Place pitas on a baking sheet lined with foil. Spread 1/2 teaspoon garlic on each pita. (I like to mix the garlic with a little bit of butter and the spread it on the pita) Sprinkle each pita with 1/4 cup cheese, and divide onion evenly among pitas. Bake for 10 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.
When pitas are removed from oven, top each with about 1 cup of salad mixture.
