• 1 piece fresh mozzarella.
• 1 slice tomato.
• 1/2 piece prosciutto.
• 1 fresh basil leaf.

Instructions:.

Layer the mozzarella, tomato, prosciutto, and basil between the two radicchio leaves and serve. One is perfect for a treat, whereas two or more might be required for lunch, depending upon your appetite.

Makes 1 sandwich.

Chicken Souvlaki Lettuce Sandwich.

Chicken souvlaki is a diner staple, and makes a delicious lunch or dinner. However it usually comes covered in a pillowy pita, upping the carbohydrate count significantly. Rather, use a leaf of romaine lettuce to include the contents of your sandwich for an enjoyable, healthy take on a Greek classic.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoon. lemon juice.
• 1/4 cup olive oil.
• 2 tsp. red wine vinegar.
• 1 tsp. dried oregano.
• 1 tsp. dried thyme.
• 1 tsp. dried mint.
• 1 lb. chicken tenders.
• Huge romaine lettuce leaves.
• Tomato slices.
• Cucumber slices.
• Tzatiki (shop purchased or homemade).

Instructions:.

Put the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, and dried herbs into a large sealable plastic bag and shake to mix well. Include the chicken and marinade 30 minutes or over night. Pre-heat the oven to 375F. Put the chicken on a huge baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Flip and cook for another 10 minutes, or up until cooked through. Eliminate from the oven. As soon as the chicken has cooled slightly, make your "sandwiches" using a piece of romaine lettuce, one chicken tender, tomato, cucumber, and a dollop of tzatiki. Fold over the lettuce leaf and serve.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
