OREGANO OIL
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped oregano

GREEK SALAD
2 Lebanese cucumbers,cut in half lengthways and thinly sliced
1 punnet cherry tomatoes, cut in half
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
100g feta, crumbled
1 tablespoon finely chopped oregano leaves
1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1-2 tablespoons vinegar (e.g. red wine, white wine, balsamic)

TO GARNISH
¼ cup roughly chopped basil leaves

METHOD
PREHEAT oven to 220°C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
1 If you are using home-made pizza sauce, start by making this first.
2 Lay pita breads, cut-side-up, on prepared trays. Spread each base with tomato sauce and sprinkle over 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Scatter over spinach leaves, olives, capsicum and artichokes.
3 Mix extra virgin olive oil, garlic and oregano together and drizzle over each pizzette.
4 Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Bake for 12-15 minutes until bases are crispy, and cheese is melted and golden brown – you may have to move the pizzas around in the oven to ensure they cook and crisp up evenly.
5 While pizzas are cooking, prepare Greek salad. Toss all ingredients together and season to taste with salt and pepper.

TO SERVE garnish pizzettes with fresh basil leaves and place 1-2 pizzettes on each plate. Serve Greek salad on the side.
