There's nothing better than fresh tomatoes in season & there's nothing better than this creative BLT variation. It makes a great lunch, potluck pleaser, patio party winner or picnic favorite. Recipe source is Florida Tomato Committee, altho I amended the original recipe slightly. Enjoy. :-). Ingredients:
1 lb tomato (fresh) |
4 hard rolls (4-inch round) |
3/4 cup caesar salad dressing (creamy) |
3 cups iceberg lettuce (chopped) |
8 slices bacon (fried crisp & crumbled) |
1/4 cup green onion (sliced) |
1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Use tomatoes held at room temp till fully ripe. Quarter tomatoes & remove the seedy moist centers so only the meat of the tomato is used. Coarsely chop tomato meat, place in a lrg bowl & set aside.
3. Slice off the top of ea hard roll & remove the center for a later use. Brush inside of rolls (& their tops) w/2 tbsp of the creamy dressing. Bake till lightly toasted (about 5 min) & set aside.
4. Add the lettuce, bacon, green onions, feta cheese & remaining Caesar dressing to the bowl w/the tomatoes & toss till well-mixed.
5. Spoon BLT mix into toasted bread shells. Place tops of rolls over the filling & serve immediately.
6. NOTES: If you want to do the prep ahead, but serve later - delay the final step till just prior to serving. Sliced avocado also makes a nice extra w/this sandwich.
