7 BLT - Two ways

You may have noticed, I'm not big on meat.  I would never actually call myself a vegetarian, because well, sometimes a girl just needs a hamburger...or a steak.  But I am naturally more of a rabbit (as my hubs affectionately calls me).  

Except when it comes to Bacon.  

Crunchy, salty, meaty, Bacon.  

Give me a BLT and you'll have a friend for life.

I realized I had some pretty awesome veggies left over from my Spring Dinner and so for the last couple of days have been making good use of them.

BLT #1

Hydroponic Local Yellow Tomatoes
Watercress Leaves
Mayo
Salt & Pepper
White Bread, Toasted
3 slices of Bacon

This was closer to the classic, the watercress has a slight bitter/peppery flavor than regular lettuce, but otherwise pretty standard BLT.  And as I mentioned before, these hydroponic tomatoes are a fabulous way to have a summer tomato taste out of season.

BLT #2


Guacamole (I used a Wholly Guacamole 100 calorie pack)
Radish, sliced
Watercress leaves
Bacon
White Bread, Toasted

Socks.Knocked.Off.

Put Guacamole on anything and call it a day.  It's delicious.  Then the salty bacon shines through, and the radish/watercress combo packs that bitter/peppery punch, it just doesn't get much better than that.

This is totally a get out of the office, go find a bench in the sunshine and sit and enjoy kind of lunch food.  Or sit inside and torture your corkers with the amazing aroma of bacon.  :)
