Buy Walking VideosFlat Out and Laughing Cow Cucumber Wraps
My new favorite find from the farmer’s market this weekend are Armenian Cucumbers.
Never bitter, you don’t have to peel these cucumbers. All you have to do is wash them thoroughly and slice them for beautiful cucumber chips with naturally scalloped edges.
I’ve been eating them in wraps with Flat Out flatbread and Laughing Cow cheese (both in the Light versions).
First, I lightly toast the Flat Out in my toaster oven. While it’s still warm, I spread one wedge of Laughing Cow cheese. I really like the garlic flavor.
Then, I put about a half a cup of cucumber slices on the flatbread. I want at least one serving of vegetables. You don’t have to use cucumbers, either. You can used any vegetables, either grilled or fresh.
After I put in the veggies, I wrap it up. The flatbread is usually a little stiff from being toasted. If you prefer your flatbread softer, then skip toasting it.
I count this whole wrap as only two points (0 points for the veggies, 1.2 points for the flatbread and .8 points for the cheese), so you can have a REALLY filling meal for only a couple of points.
ENJOY!

Laura,
I love this idea, but I want to call you attention to the product labeling for Flatout bread. At the bottom of the package in tiny red letters, it warns about the potential for fire of you heat them up in a toaster oven.
It actually happened to a good friend of mine, so be very careful!
Sorry to be a Downer Dave! Otherwise, your recipe sounds yummy!

Thanks for the warning, Ernie! I didn’t even notice that warning.
I actually prefer the wrap not warmed up. It gets a little too crispy when it has been in the toaster, so I’ll give up that step.

I’m 50 now and I have always loved cucumbers. Now living in the Philippines we have a Japanese cucumber. It is long and thin and very crunchy. I would love to try the Armenian Cucumbers, they look amazing. Bruce

My favorite sandwich; half of a 100% Whole Wheat Pita, (Or Wrap) toasted, with 1-2 tablespoons of hummus, half a cucumber cut up in small chunks, and about a tablespoon of pine nuts…very, yummy!!!
