What we had for dinner

I am so excited to share this recipe with all of you!! I absolutely LOVE avocado and was excited to find this Pita Pizza recipe in Everyday with Rachel Ray. I made a few adjustments so the recipe isn't all exact measurements but making it your own is part of the fun.

Bacon-Avocado Pita Pizzas

Ingredients:
* 1 pint of grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
* 1 shallot of red onion thinly sliced
* 1/4 c EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) + extra for drizzling on the pitas
* 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
* Pepper
* 2 avocados
* 8 slices bacon
* mixed greens, torn-up
* shredded mozzarella
* whole pitas (I prefer whole wheat)

Directions:
1. Brush pitas with EVOO and dust with garlic salt. Place on cookie sheets and cook at 450 degrees for 5 minutes.


2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, shallots, 1/4 c EVOO, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature.


In a medium bowl, mash the avocados, pressing plastic wrap directly on the surface to cover.


3. Cook bacon and drain on paper towels.


4. Spread the avocado evenly on each crust. Top with mixed greens and then scatter tomato mixture over pizza. Crumble bacon on top and then add cheese.
5. Put in oven for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.



Enjoy!! I usually make 4 of these and have leftover of the tomato mixture which is good in a salad or on top of chicken or fish the next day.
