Low Calorie Sandwiches

Ever since Orowheat introduced Sandwich Thins about 2 years ago, I've been eating more sandwiches. I have two rather gourmet sandwiches I make that are both low in calories and full of flavor. Both can be modified and I'm sure improved upon.

Ricotta and Sun Dried Tomato Sandwich

1/2 cup fresh or store bought ricotta
several sun dried tomatoes packed in olive oil (plus a little oil)

Puree above ingredients

Saute sliced mushrooms in olive oil and a little garlic

Top each sandwich thin with ricotta mixture, basil or arugula leaves, then mushrooms. Broil until cheese is bubbly.


Crab Sandwich

Costco crab dip
sliced tomatoes
sliced avocado

Spread crab dip on sandwich rounds, top with sliced tomatoes, avocado and sprinkle with parmesean cheese. Set under broiler until brown and bubbly.

There are many other ways you can use this product to make delicious and flavorful sandwiches. How about cream cheese with tappenade, arugula and tomatoes? Or goat cheese and walnuts and cranberries? There are so many variations, but try these for starters. All this has made me hungry. Let's see if I can create something new for lunch today.
