As time has passed and I’ve entered my mid-thirties (ah-hem) I have become more and more health conscious. I find myself paying attention to labels and reading more about how the things that I put into my body are affecting my overall well-being. I’m not 100% organic but I do tend to buy only certain varieties of organic meats and produce. One of my other switches that I’ve made recently has been in my salad dressing which was the inspiration for these quick and easy Greek Salad Flatbread.

The result was the most delicious Raspberry Walnut Goat Cheese Appetizer.
