Low Fat Spinach, Olive & Feta Pizza with Beetroot Salsa


Who says if you’re dieting you can’t have pizza. Here’s my cheats version of low fat pizza with an accompaniment of beetroot salsa. This certainly will satisfy the pizza craving, dare I say it might even be nicer, as we are using the freshest of ingredients, and using food combinations that will really pop together. By using a store bought wrap, you can also keep track of the calories, and its a great quick cheat way of getting the pizza hit!
