Sometimes the simple to prepare meals are the tastiest. This open-faced delight surely delivers. We’ve layered a skinny ham salad on top of toasted garlic bread, followed by fresh steamed asparagus and reduced-fat cheese then into the oven to melt. It might sound like a strange combination but wait until you taste it. The skinny on one of these delectable halves is 221 calories, 7.5 grams of fat, and 5 Weight watchers POINTS. It’s delicious and perfect to serve for brunch or lunch.
