BLT

BLAT Bacon lettuce avocado tomato sandwich

Posted by Gary

This week Liz from Bizzy Lizzy’s Good Things wrote about an ultimate BLT (bacon lettuce tomato) sandwich. It inspired my Saturday lunch. 

While I was thinking of replicating Liz’s version I had some left over ciabatta in the freezer as well as an avocado that needed eating. In my mind there is no point wasting good food.
