This easy recipe is another great way to use kale pesto, specifically our Amazing Green Sauce. This time, we added the cancer-busting superfood kale onto a super fast pizza snack that even kale... skeptics can enjoy.

4 mini whole-wheat mini pita pockets (see Chef Tips)
½ cup ricotta cheese
¾ cup Amazing Green Sauce (see Chef Tips)
⅓ cup diced fresh mozzarella cheese

Directions

Preheat the broiler or toaster oven.
Spread each pita pocket with 1 tablespoon of ricotta cheese, then evenly divide and spread the Amazing Green Sauce on top. Dot each pizza with diced mozzarella.
Heat the mini pizzas under a broiler or in a toaster oven until the cheese is well melted and beginning to lightly brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Serve hot.

Chef Tips

If you can’t find mini pita pockets, use 2 of the regular size, put ½ the ingredients on each, and broil as in step 3.

Amazing Green Sauce is really a type of cooked kale pesto. It is great to keep in the freezer as a standby. It can go over pasta, get stirred into rice or soups, or be spooned onto pizza as it is here. It sure helps kale to get around on your plate!
