In the scorching summer heat in my part of the world, it’s often nice to be able to fix a healthy meal that requires no baking or cooking. Something light and refreshing that can be put together in a heartbeat. Partnering with Castello for a Summer of Blue, I’m munching on a delicious muhammara pita pizza as I write this. No baking or cooking required. Think of this delicious muhammara flatbread as pizza that crossed Middle eastern dip. 
The nutty-hot flavor of muhammara makes a fiery base for this pizza. Fresh cucumber and mint adds an amazing refreshing touch to the pita pizza.Topped with Castello blue cheese, the whole pizza comes together in less than 5 minutes. Whether it’s lunchtime or dinnertime, you can relish this hearty and satisfying pizza anytime.
