I recently seen a recipe for a BLT. But it wasn’t just a regular BLT. It was called a  “California” BLT. This sandwich is perfect for summer. It’s cool, refreshing, light, and healthy.  After watching the show (Barefoot Contessa) I immediately ran to store to pick up the missing items that I needed. I didn’t follow the recipe to the letter. Here is what I used for each sandwich.

Ingredients:

3 pieces of maple bacon

2 slices of avocado

2 pieces of red leaf lettuce

1 slice of tomato

1 potato sandwich roll

1/2 tsp of Kraft mayo

I made them for lunch for me and my son. He loved it!!!! As did I, before making this sandwich I had never ate avocado’s before. They made the sandwich cool and rich. Of course you can modify this recipe anyway you like. Also your choice of breads can be endless. I chose potato bread because it’s my fav.  But don’t be afraid to experiment.  Another good choice would be a fresh pretzel roll or bakery style french bread. This recipe was such a success, it will be one of my families permanent favorites. Please grab this recipe. You will not be disappointed if you are a fan of BLT’s.  Thank you food network !!!
