BLT Avocado

It’s Summer Olympics time!  Go Team USA! When watching my favorite games, I don’t want to miss any moment of the excitement.  So, I prefer meals that are super quick and summer cool.

Featured in this month’s Paleo Recipes magazine, this BLT avocado is so easy, it can be put together during a long commercial break. And by adding a creamy soy-free dressing, this flavorful dish is not only healthy, every bite is full of yum! 

BLT Avocado 

Ingredients:

Serves 1

½ ripe avocado

2 nitrate free bacon slices

A few leaves of butter lettuce

2 tomato slices cut in half

A dash of seasoned salt

2 tablespoons of soy-free salad dressing

Microwave or oven-broil the bacon until done. Drain off the excess oil and cut slices in half. Cut the avocado in half and remove the seed.  Set one half aside. Sprinkle the other half lightly with seasoned salt. Drizzle on one tablespoon of salad dressing. Alternately layer lettuce, bacon, and tomatoes in and on top of avocado hollow. Drizzle with remaining salad dressing.

Serve with rice cakes.
