- 6 fresh strawberries sliced
- 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon fresh basil chopped
- 2 slices whole grain French bread
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1/4 cup fresh red leaf lettuce
- 3 ounces grilled chicken
- In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries with the balsamic vinegar, and chopped fresh basil. Stir to combine well, then set aside.
- Toast slices of whole grain French bread, then layout on a plate or cutting board. Spread ricotta cheese on one side of each bread slice.
- On one slice of bread, add spinach and red leaf lettuce on top of spread Ricotta. Layer grilled chicken on top of spinach and lettuce.
- On the other slice of bread, spoon Balsamic strawberries on top of the Ricotta side, taking care not to add too much of the Balsamic liquid (so the sandwich isn’t too soggy).
- Lay the berry and ricotta slice on top of the chicken and spinach slice, pressing sandwich layers together to combine well. Enjoy immediately or tie with cooking twine to hold sandwich together to pack on the go!
