Recipe #51: Healthier BLTs

Since I had opened the bacon last night for our breakfast, I decided it would be a great time to make some BLTs! I love going to sandwich places and getting a BLT, it is so classic. Plus BLTs were a treat for us in Japan because bacon is hard to come by, and when we did have it, it was rationed very carefully! Of course when you add up the mayo, white bread, bacon, etc, it is not the healthiest sandwich to eat, but here is a twist that will hopefully cut the calories a little bit.

For one sandwich
You need:
2 pieces whole wheat bread
3 pieces turkey bacon
tomato
lettuce
honey mustard
  • Start frying up that bacon first!
  • pop your bread into the toaster.
  • Cut up some tomato and lettuce. Also, cheese is a nice addition
  • Put it all together!

Some fun variations:
instead of regular sandwich bread use sandwich thins, wraps, pita bread
give it a southwestern flavor by adding some guacamole or salsa instead of mayo or mustard
any other ideas?
