The Mediterranean Diet Pizza

Easy Swaps To Go Mediterranean

Instead of rice: service up whole grain quinoa or farro. Portion control:1/2 c - 1c

Instead of sautéing vegetables in butter cook with olive oil

Instead of sour cream-based tip. Try Greek Yogurt based tzatziki.

Instead of a beef burger try a salmon patty.

Instead of snacking on potato chips. Search for lightly salted or unsalted nuts.

This Greek Flat Bread Pizza is the perfect quick and easy vegetarian dinner for a busy weeknight! My 5 Minute Flatbread crust creates a crispy, crunchy base that is topped with homemade spinach pesto, mozzarella, feta, artichoke hearts, red onion, grape tomatoes, and black olives.
