Ingredients
- 2 cups arugula leaves, coarsely chopped
- 1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp olive oil, divided
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper
- 8 slices light whole wheat bread (50 calories per slice) such as Nature’s Own
- 1 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved lengthwise
- ½ cup basil leaves, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Place arugula in a medium bowl and add 1 tsp oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Lay out 4 slices of bread and top with ¼ cup cheese, ¼ of halved grapes, ¼ of the basil and ½ cup arugula. Top with remaining 4 slices of bread and brush both sides of the outside of each sandwich with ¼ Tbsp oil.
- Heat medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray.
