Perfect Little Lunch

By May 1, 2010October 4th, 20116 Comments

Itโ€™s way too easy for me to shovel down the straggler crusts of my kidsโ€™ PB&J or grilled cheese sandwiches and call it lunchโ€ฆonly to fight a losing battle with a bag of tortilla chips an hour later. This quick open-face has recently proven to be a good antidote to that cycle โ€” and a vegetarian antidote at that. Itโ€™s a whole wheat pita spread with hummus and topped with a simple salad: bibb leaves, grape tomatoes, and feta tossed in red olive oil and red wine vinegar. It also packs up nicely for the lunchbox for the kids or for you โ€” should you be trying to kick that Chipotle takeout habit at the office.

    So funnyโ€ฆI just came back from a weekend in NYC and we ate at Chipotle TWICE! It was too tastyโ€ฆso tonight Iโ€™m emulating their salad at home with a (hopefully) lower calorie count. Love the idea of an open faced sandwich though.
