Perfect Little Lunch

It's way too easy for me to shovel down the straggler crusts of my kids' PB&J or grilled cheese sandwiches and call it lunch...only to fight a losing battle with a bag of tortilla chips an hour later. This quick open-face has recently proven to be a good antidote to that cycle -- and a vegetarian antidote at that. It's a whole wheat pita spread with hummus and topped with a simple salad: bibb leaves, grape tomatoes, and feta tossed in red olive oil and red wine vinegar. It also packs up nicely for the lunchbox for the kids or for you -- should you be trying to kick that Chipotle takeout habit at the office.
