1
ingredients
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
- 2 teaspoons natural peanut butter (I use homemade)
- 1⁄2 large tomatoes, sliced
- 2 -4 leaves spinach or 2 -4 leaves lettuce
- salt and pepper
directions
- Wash the spinach leaves, shake off excess water, place in a microwave-proof bowl, and microwave on high for 30 seconds or until just wilted.
- Alternatively, you can omit this step and just have it raw, or use lettuce leaves.
- Spread the peanut butter evenly over the bread slices.
- Place 1-2 wilted spinach leaves (or lettuce) over each slice, and top with tomato slices.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Toast on a grilling rack in the oven (300C) for 5-7 minutes or until the bottom of the bread is slightly brown.
- Eat immediately, with fresh fruit for a healthy lunch!

Anu: I can't thank YOU enough for this amazingly simple yet bursting-with-flavour sandwich! I read about it in a thread and the next day made this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...yes, it's THAT good! I tried it both with the spinach and without; preferred it without and got my "greens" into me with Broccoli soup, instead. As one reviewer mentioned, you can NOT stop eating this! Seriously, I could have pulled up a chair to the toaster oven and kept making these, one after the other. What I did differently than your suggestion, was to chop up the tomato into diced bits, so I wouldn't be pulling off an entire slice with one bite. Lightly toasted the bread to warm it, took it out of the toaster oven, spread peanut butter onto a cracked whole wheat bread, placed tomatoe dices plus S & P on top, then put it back into the toaster oven to finish it off. Simple and simply amazing; a real keeper of a recipe that I'll be sure to share with others. :) NOTE: Almost 2 months later, I'm still enjoying this sandwich. Tonight, I added 1 strip of crumbled up bacon with the chopped tomatoes: HEAVEN ON BREAD! Such a healthy, yummy snack!
