Tomato Mozzarella Pita with Spinach Pesto
I was lucky enough to come home for lunch today and have a minute while the toddler was napping.
Inspired by a sandwich my friend had yesterday while shopping this came out better then I ever expected! And so pretty although my picture doesn’t’ do it justice. Just imagine the red tomato, white cheese and bright green pesto!
- About 1 cup of spinach
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 clove of garlic
- Fresh basil or about 1-2 tsp dry basil
- 1 large 2 point pita ( I used Damascus Whole Wheat Pita)
- 1-2 medium ripe tomato sliced
- 1 oz shredded mozzarella
Put the spinach, olive oil, vinegar, garlic and basil in the blender or small food processor. Blend until smooth. You will have a nice bright green sauce.
Cut the pita in half and layer the tomato slices, cheese and presto inside. Eat it cold or warm it as I did using the pot of water trick].
It depends on the pita, but I’m getting approximately 250 calories, 11 g of fat and 9 g of fiber.

Hi Roni
I just wanted to ask you a question? I made this pesto last night & for some reason to me it tastes very bitter i dont know if i did something wrong. I used all the ingredients listed. Thanks again for all your recipes I have tried several & they have been delicious.
Not sure, maybe cut back the apple cider vinegar. Was your spinach fresh?
I'll have to make it again, it's been awhile! Sorry you didn't like it.
