With the goal of eating lighter, we love this idea from Ozery Bakery: the pita tartine.

Tartine is the French term for an open-face sandwich. In this version, Ozery piles on the healthful ingredients: black beans, radishes, grape tomatoes, red onions, greens and guacamole.

You can add:

Fruit: thinly-sliced apples, figs, pears

Greens: arugula, baby spinach, fresh herbs, mesclun mix, shredded lettuce, watercress

Proteins: beans; flaked tuna; diced or shredded chicken, ham or prosciutto; seafood (use up your leftovers!), shredded cheese

Vegetables: grilled, sautéed and/or pickled

For a spread, hummus adds protein; a slick of chipotle mayonnaise adds kick.

You can slice the pita in half horizontally for even less bread, or use a wrap. Then, roll and enjoy!

Family-owned Ozery Bakery started 15 years ago, its delicious products making their way to the U.S. in recent years. It was a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week, and continues to be a favorite here.
