{Skinny} "Bruschetta"


Y'know those snacks that you discover and are obsessed with for weeks or months, and then forget about completely? This is one of those recipes for me.

I ate this combo all the time as I was preparing to fit into my wedding dress that I purchased a little too small. I made it into that dress thanks, in part, to this healthy and tasty snack that helped me fight off cravings.

Down to the wire but it fit!

I'm not saying that everyone out there is looking for a bruschetta substitute because it is some kind of healthy food but, for me, that's what this snack reminded me of. The Salsa tastes really fresh and the garlic cheese gives it that yummy bruschetta feel. For me, the olive oil, basil, or balsamic aren't even missed and the Sandwich Thin fits much better into my lifestyle than baguettes. Even if this isn't a perfect bruschetta substitute, try it because it's delicious!

It all started with the amazing salsa from Sam's Club. That stuff is delicious but any fresh salsa would do. I knew I couldn't snack on it with all the chips like I used to, so I thought I'd put it on top of a toasted Sandwich Thin. The part that makes it super tasty and even more filling: a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese. I used Garlic and Herb, but they have a few flavors that would be fun to play around with.



There you have it. It's seriously that easy, and so good!

The whole thing is roughly 145 calories. I use one Sandwich Thin - 2 halves- (100cal), 1 Laughing Cow cheese wedge (35 cal), and 4 tablespoons of salsa - 2 on each half - (10 cal).



Delicious!

  7. What a beautiful bride. While this is skinnier, I'd eat many many servings of it, which defeats the purpose! LOL!
