When I think of Summer I think of BLTs. The perfect harmony of salty from the bacon and sweetness from the tomato all comes together with the lettuce and the aioli - YUM!! I have created and shared two ways to get this flavor combo: a salad and a sandwich. Choose your own adventure or try both!
BLT Sandwich:
Ingredients:
2 slices of bread - whatever kind you like!
1 piece of bacon or turkey bacon (I'm crazy and don't like bacon that much so I choose to cook turkey bacon, CRAZY I know, I know)
1 heirloom tomato, sliced
2 pieces of little gem lettuce
Dill Ranch: (this will be the spread on the sandwich or the dressing on the salad)
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar
A pinch of kosher salt & freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/4 cup of fresh dill, chopped
Directions
For the spread, assemble and mix until combined. Taste to adjust seasoning.
For the sandwich, toast the bread. Fry up the bacon. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the tomatoes and assemble the sandwich. Enjoy!
