Again – this is no back room secret but I thought I’d share it anyway. You can make your faux bacon, lettuce, avocado & tomato sandwich any way you like. I still haven’t found a meatless bacon that doesn’t suck – except for the completely chemical & sodium laden soy BACOS (http://www.amazon.com/Betty-Crocker-Bacos-Flavor-4-4-Ounce/dp/images/B000EFBM4O)! This can easily be made vegan by simply using a Veganaise of some sort. So – my BLAT consists, typically, of some kind of sprouted grain bread (http://www.foodforlife.com/product-catalog/ezekiel-49/breads) which I toast, a larger quantity of mayonnaise than is likely wise, half an avocado, slices of tomato, as many artificially red Bacos as I can get to stick in the mayonnaise, whatever lettuce is handy & some freshly ground pepper. Sure – the toast & shards of Bacos wreak havoc on the roof of your mouth but the fat-induced coma caused by the mayonnaise & avocado makes that pain easy to ignore.
INGREDIENTS
Toast – your call
Mayonnaise – LOTS
Bacos – MORE
