Better Than a BLT

There is an interesting ‘need’ for bacon these days. It’s sold everywhere and it’s in everything. Really, is that necessary? Do people realize what they’re putting in their bodies?
At any rate, since we don’t eat little piggies or their parts, but do enjoy a good toasted sandwich, we needed an alternative to the traditional BLT. Enter: The ALT! Avocado is great substitute for the ‘fatty’ ingredient in a regular BLT, but with added nutrition and a far better taste. But that’s not the only great substitute! Since our garden was kind enough to provide swish chard, we switched out the lettuce and had a great pairing of creamy and bitter. Add thick sliced of fresh tomato and you’ll be dancing on your counter. We served ours with raw string beans instead of fries and were feelin’ pretty spoiled. Mmm!
Ingredients
- Fresh Avocado (we use Hass)
- Lettuce (or Swiss Chard)
- Tomato
- Vegenaise
- Salt & Pepper
Directions
The instructions are pretty straight forward here. Spread veganaise on toasted (or not) bread and pile high with other ingredients. Salt and fresh pepper to taste…and you’re golden.
