- 1 piece pita bread, uncut (whole wheat, white, or onion)
- 1⁄2 - 3⁄4 ounce mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1⁄2 - 3⁄4 ounce cheddar cheese, shredded
- 10 leaves fresh spinach

- 1⁄8 - 1⁄4 fluid ounce red wine vinegar
directions
- Melt the shredded cheeses on (not inside) the pita bread in microwave. Do NOT use an oven or broiler, as you want the bread to remain soft.

- Add remained sliced veggies, oil and vinegar.
- Fold in half and serve.
- NOTE: Do not add salt, as the cheese adds a sense of saltiness.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I enjoy cooking the most when there is time to experiment. I substitute all kinds of ingredients to use what I have and avoid extra trips to the store. Growing up, I watched my mom cook. She never measured anything, but cooked by feel and approximations. I am known to measure quite a bit, but since I substitute so much, my dishes never taste the same way twice. I try to avoid packaged food and cook from scratch whenever possible.
Since I dislike grocery shopping in city supermarkets (too small and crowded), I shop online for groceries every 3-4 weeks and have them delivered by the store in a refrigerated truck. I just pick up milk and produce and in between. I love the local farmers markets around the city each summer and fall, too!
