I am always looking for appetizers that incorporate lots of vegetables. The combination of fresh mozzarella, basil and summer tomatoes is irresistible. My variation on this salad is to is to layer the magnificent summer ingredients on top of a pita, slice into wedges and serve.

To Make Caprese Salad Appetizer
6 small pita pockets ( I like small 60 calorie pita's)
1-2 tbsp olive oil
salt to taste
6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese cut into very thin slices
2-3 tomatoes, chopped and lightly salted
8-10 basil leaves, minced ( you can use more if you like)

Brush one side of each pita with a small amount of oil, sprinkle with a little salt and broil for one to two minutes until crisp. Combine the tomatoes and basil add a pich of salt and set aside.
Place an equal amount of cheese on each pita, sprinkle with the tomato mixture . Serve whole or cut each pita into six pieces using a pizza wheel. Best if served right away.
Approximately 150 calories for a whole pizza or about 30 calories per wedge.
