My husband found a Tuna Melt Pita Pizzas Recipe in a magazine awhile ago and we tried it out today – with our own twist of course. I thought it worked so well, I just had to share. I think this would be great for an appetizer as well. And with the many options of pizza out there – you can get really creative with the Pita Pizza idea and make this is a lot of fun for everyone in the family to make together. I hand-picked the dill and lettuce from my garden. It’s great to have the little extras just outside my doorstep!
Tuna Pita Pizza
1 Can solid white tuna in water, drained
2 Tbsp. Reduced Fat Mayonnaise
1/2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1/2 Tbsp. fresh Dill, finely chopped
1 Green Onion, finely chopped
4 Pitas (white / whole wheat)
2 Cups Baby Greens
1/2 Cup grated cheddar cheese (I plan on using Dubliner Cheese next time, we pick it up at Costco and I use it in almost everything!)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix tuna, mayonnaise, olive oil, dill, green onion, salt and pepper. Place the pitas on the baking sheet, then spread the tuna mixture overtop. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of each pita and bake until cheese has melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Cut each pita into wedges and top with baby greens. Enjoy! {A}
