Tomato-basil sandwich

Pita bread replaces sliced bread in this easy tomato and basil sandwich.

Pita bread is a hollow flatbread that is a staple in the Middle East as well as Mediterranean regions. It can be cut in half and filled with just about anything.

To make this plant based, leave out cheese.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

1 whole-wheat pita, cut in half
2 or more leaves of romaine lettuce
6 fresh basil leaves
1 thinly sliced tomato
2 thin slices of red onion
2 ounces reduced-fat smoked provolone cheese
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Toast the pita bread halves in the toaster and open the pockets. Divide the lettuce, basil, tomato, onion and cheese, and layer between the 2 halves. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and freshly ground pepper. Serve.
