Hot Dish of the Week

Once you've had a BLAT (Bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato), I predict you won't be able to go back to a regular, old BLT.

Here's Dish Gal's version. It hit the spot on a sunny day, but I suspect will also cheer you up on a rainy, dismal weekend like this one.

Dish Gal's B.L.A.T.

Serves 2

4 slices of maple bacon

1/2 avocado

1/2 lemon, juiced

1 medium tomato, sliced

red leaf lettuce or romaine lettuce

1 tbsp light mayonnaise

4 slices of toast

S&P

1. Mash the avocado and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with S&P. Optional: add a dash of cayenne pepper.

2. Cook bacon in a non-stick skillet until crispy.

3. Toast the bread. On one side, spread a tiny bit of mayonnaise-- you don't need that much since you'll have the avocado spread. On the other side, spread the avocado mixture.

4. Add the bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Enjoy!
