I made this tonight and it was delish. I halved the recipe and had enough for 6 people, so plan accordingly. I used it as a side with some sun-dried tomato sausages and a green salad. But, you could definitely have this as a main. The feta and edamame have protein enough. I only did one slice of bread for me and
DH, and they were small.
It's about 11 WW pts as written. But, I used low fat feta, low fat Balsamic vinaigrette (didn't bother making the one below), and fat free greek yogurt. Once slice of French bread with 1 generous T of the feta mixture and about 3/4 cup of the revised recipe is approx. 4 pts.
