Green Leaf Fun with Tomato Buns

IMG_5749

This is one juicy snack! It can also work as a lunch or appetizer. The tomato acts as a moisture-rich “bun” and the wilted green leaves, sautéed with garlic and olive oil, acts as the filling. It’s exceptionally light and has bold flavors from the garlic, feta, and balsamic vinegar. The tomato balances it all. Enjoy!

I’d suggest uses a fork and knife, otherwise things might get a little wet. To each his own, though!
