BLT Sandwich Recipe Questions
What is a BLT?
A BLT is a popular sandwich made of Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato. The bread slices used in a BLT are usually toasted or grilled. BLTs are also often made with mayonnaise as the sandwich spread. However, BLT recipes vary greatly based on a person’s preferences. For example, BLTs might include additional ingredients (i.e. avocado), use different types of bread (i.e. oatmeal bread or bacon bread), etc. Some BLTs are even made without bacon or use a bacon substitute (i.e. hard tofu) if a person does not eat meat.
What are the benefits of eating avocado?
The first benefit of eating avocado is great taste! Another avocado benefit is that it is rich in potassium, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K and folate. It also has fiber and monounsaturated fatty acids.
