Spinach, Tomato, & Mushroom Flatbread Pizza


There are few vegetable flavors I love more than the combination of spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms.

Throw them in pasta, top them on a pizza, mix it in a salad together and I am one happy camper.

The depth of flavors, I have learned, comes from marinating my favorite veggies in a little balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and kosher salt.

After working on a yummy burger recipe last week, I had some leftover marinated tomatoes lingering in my refrigerator from burger topping.

I also happened to have some flatbread leftover from our Chicken Pesto Open-Faced Flatbread Sandwiches.

I thought I would put them both to good use and create a little pizza for myself for a yummy lunch.

There is so much flavor in these marinated tomatoes and sauteed mushrooms with a little wilted spinach sprinkled with fresh lemon juice makes a delicious addition to this pizza.

Top the flatbread with your own favorite cheese and you have the makings of the perfect lunch.
