Tomato and Cucumber – mix tomato, cucumber, seasoning and oil in small bowl and spoon on top of pita. Top with fresh basil cut in thin strips (chiffonade).

Notes

* Instead of pita, use other flatbreads like Naan, tortilla wraps. You can even use frozen pizza bottoms, puff pastry or make your own pizza dough.  Store any leftovers in the fridge. They’re great right out of the fridge or you can reheat them (depending on topping) in a 350°F oven if you prefer.
