Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat pita bread rounds
- 6-8 tablespoons roasted garlic hummus or sauce of your choice

- 2 tablespoons Green Goddess Dressing

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange 4 pita bread rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread each pita with roasted garlic hummus (I used about 1 1/2 tablespoons per pizza). Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the zucchini and yellow squash slices with the dressing. Add the tomatoes to the bowl, and toss gently again. cheese.
- Arrange the veggie slices on top of the prepared pitas. Sprinkle with mozzarella

Notes
- TO STORE: Pita pizzas are best enjoyed the day they are made, but you can store pita pizzas in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- TO REHEAT: Gently rewarm pizzas on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees F until hot.
- SUBSTITUTION: Feel free to swap any veggies you prefer or are in season. Very firm or crisp veggies that won't soften in a short amount of time in the oven (such as butternut squash) should be sautéed before topping the pizzas.
