This prosciutto di Parma, peppery arugula, sweet balsamic and heart healthy olive oil on french bread is a winning combination.
Prosciutto, Arugula and Balsamic Sandwich
Prosciutto, Arugula and Balsamic SandwichOther sandwiches I love that don’t require heating up are Tomato Roasted Pepper and Mozzarella Sandwich, Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Avocado and Tomato, and my favorite… Roast Beef, Arugula and Shaved Parmesan.
The addition of prosciutto in this sandwich is a perfect example of using meat as a condiment. It has so much concentrated flavor, that a little goes a long way. I load this up with arugula and balsamic (sometimes I add fresh tomatoes and shaved parmesan) and I’m one happy camper!
French bread or baguettes are usually fat free, so that’s my bread of choice when I make a sandwich. Always check nutritional info because some brands add oil. And by the way, I cheated and scooped out some of the bread to give me a larger sandwich for less carbs, I think this is a Long Island thing, we do that with bagels too!

Was the best thing ever
I don’t think this is 4 free style points. The bread alone is 7.
Thank you.
Are you using the recipe builder? The only accurate way to determine any recipe’s SmartPoints® value is to plug the ingredients into the recipe builder on the Weight Watchers website (Click on “My Foods,” select “Recipe,” and click “Create a recipe.”) which does not count fruits and vegetables in recipes in the calculations as they are now 0 points.
The SmartPoints® calculator isn’t meant for recipes and will often give you the wrong points (usually higher) because it’s counting the fruits and vegetables. So if you see a recipe with a SmartPoints® value that’s different from what the calculator tells you, now you know why.
I agree it is a lot more points. Yes I used the recipe builder. On green its 10pts and I don’t think any of the items with points are free on blue. Even so, 3oz french bread is 7. Unless you have found some magical bread! Wish it was 4! Love your recipes Gina

Took it out. Thanks!
My store didn't have prosciutto so I used ham and it was still DELICIOUS! I loved the oil and balsamic over a mayonnaise.
This is my new obsession! I had one for dinner last night and lunch today and it's amazing. I sprinkled a little parmesan on it too. Such a filling lunch!
this is AWESOME. soooooo good! even the hubby cant get enough of this. considering there is barely any actually cooking involved, this is amazing.
I make this ALL the time. I love it. I toast the baguette in the toaster oven and them add the prosciutto and arugula. It's a delicious meal in minutes. YUM!
