Ingredients:
2 to 3 tomatoes (preferably heirloom), thickly sliced |
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste |
4 leaves fresh basil, torn roughly |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1 very ripe avocado |
4 tablespoons mayonnaise |
juice of 1/2 lemon |
4 slices soft oatmeal or oat-nut bread, toasted |
6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crisp |
1 head boston or butter lettuce, leaves separated |
Directions:
1. Place the tomatoes in a portable container. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and basil and drizzle with the olive oil. Cut the avocado in half and scoop out the flesh. In another container, mash it with the mayonnaise and lemon juice. Seal the containers until serving time. Then spread each slice of bread with the avocado mayonnaise and make 2 sandwiches, dividing the bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes evenly between them.
2. Suggestions for the kids Use regular mayonnaise instead of the avocado mayonnaise, remove the crusts, and cut into halves or quarters to serve.
