This recipe would be perfect for a Meatless Monday lunch and I would certainly enjoy it for dinner as well. Fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and spinach get tossed in pantry ingredient staples - olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder and oregano. The flavorful mixture gets stuffed in a pita smeared with lemon hummus. The lemon hummus provides a fresh zing and an extra protein boost for the dish.
