Ingredients

  • 4 regular-size pitas
  • 1/2 cup refrigerated prepared pesto
  • 1 jar (12 oz) roasted red peppers, drained
  • 8 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 4 1/2-in.-thick slices onion
  • Nonstick spray
  • 1 bag (5 oz) baby arugula salad
  • 1 large tomato, cut in wedges
  • 3 Tbsp bottled balsamic vinaigrette dressing

Cooking Instructions

Heat a stovetop ridged grill pan or outdoor grill.

Meanwhile make panini: For each, split 1 pita and spread rough side of half with 2 Tbsp pesto. Top with 1⁄4 the peppers and 1⁄2 cup cheese. Cover with other half of pita, smooth side up.

Coat panini and onion slices with nonstick spray. Grill 4 to 5 minutes, turning once or twice, until cheese melts and onion slices are charred and crisp-tender.

Meanwhile mix arugula, tomato and dressing in a bowl. Stir in charred onion. Serve with panini.

Panini is the Italian word for sandwich.
