I've never eaten a BLT without avocado. Is that strange? It just doesn't seem as appealing. I suspect that once you try this you won't go back. This sandwich is very similar to another I previously posted- the California BLT. The difference? This B.L.A.T. has an avocado spread whereas the C.B.L.T. is layered with sliced avocado and contains mayonnaise. Like I said, they're nothing alike. Both wonderful though. If I had to choose between the two? I'd probably go California-style. But if you like your avocado smooth and creamy this sandwich is for you!
INGREDIENTS
1 extra-ripe avocado
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon or lime juice
1/2 tsp. salt
dash of cayenne pepper
8 slices bacon, cooked
8 slices whole wheat bread
8 leaves romaine or bibb lettuce
2 medium tomatoes, sliced (Beefsteak are best!)
1 red onion, thinly sliced
DIRECTIONS
1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Mash until smooth and set aside.
2. Toast bread. Spread an equal amount of avocado on each slice. Top 4 slices with even amounts of bacon, lettuce, tomato and red onion. Cover with second slice of bread. Cut in half and serve immediately.
Makes 4 sandwiches.
