Dates on a sandwich? You know it! This mix of sweet and salty goes perfect on a panini. I got the idea from one of my friend’s parties where she served bacon-wrapped dates as an appetizer, and they were so delicious! I catch myself dreaming about them occasionally…however, not super healthy for you with the bacon. I think of prosciutto as the “healthier bacon,” and then I saw Giada’s Cheese-Stuffed Dates With Prosciutto and knew this was going to be a perfect pair as a grilled wich.
This panini has 500 calories, but it also has whole grain bread, veggies, fruit, and more than half of your protein for the day. If you are eating a lower-calorie diet, you can switch the bread for the 45 calorie/slice bread and save 110 calories and switch 2 of the prosciutto slices for turkey and save 40 calories for a total calorie count of 350. Hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think!
