Pizza on the grill can be surprising simple. Instead of dough, you can use whole wheat tortillas for a crisp pizza-like crust. Fresh tomatoes and zucchini highlight the bounty of summer. Fresh basil required!

DIRECTIONS
For grilled steak and zucchini
- Heat outdoor grill to medium-high.
- Remove steak from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before grilling; this will allow the steak to cook more evenly. Season the steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Brush zucchini strips with a little olive oil on both sides.
- Place steak onto the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is achieved. Timing is for 1” thick. Adjust accordingly.
- Arrange zucchini on sides of grill and cook for about 2 minutes and remove.
- Remove steak from the grill and allow to rest five minutes before slicing. Reserve half the steak for Meal #4.
- Dice grilled zucchini for pizza topping.
For stove top tomato saute
- Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium/high heat and add oil. Once hot, add in tomatoes and stir to coat with olive oil. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, and salt & pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until tomatoes are heated through, begin to soften, and the skins split.
- Finish the tomatoes by stirring in the fresh parsley.
For grilled pizza
- Top four tortillas evenly with feta cheese, then top each with a second tortilla.
- Brush each side of tortillas with olive oil and place onto the grill. Grill for about 1 minute per side or until slightly crisp.
- Remove from the grill and add toppings; spread 2 Tablespoons of tomato sauce onto prepared tortilla then top with slices of steak, zucchini and top with fresh basil.
- Place back onto grill for about 2 minutes to warm through.
For salad
Toss spinach with dressing.
