Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 1 large onion, thinly sliced; 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 2 cups fresh arugula or baby spinach; 4 pita breads (6 inches); 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced; 2 plum tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices; 1/4 cup sliced ripe olives; 2 tablespoons capers, drained

Grilling these pizzas is a quick summery alternative to cooking them in the oven. If it’s raining, simply pop them in a 350° oven for 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. —Bonnie Hawkins, Elkhorn, Wisconsin

In a small skillet, saute onion in 1 tablespoon oil until tender. Add garlic; saute 1 minute longer. Remove and keep warm. In the same pan, cook arugula just until wilted; remove and keep warm.
