recipe makeover!

Here's an easy way to substitute good fats in avocado for bad fats in mayo and bacon, while keeping lots of flavor! I can vouch for its yumminess, I invented this for dinner last night. :)

Healthy BLT

8 slices Jennie O 95 % fat free Turkey Bacon (20 cals and 0.5 g fat per slice)
1 avocado
4 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
8 slices wheat cottage bread, toasted
1 large ripe tomato
16 iceberg lettuce leaves

Crisp bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Break each strip in half. Mash avocado, minced garlic, and salt and pepper together in a bowl. Spread avocado mix on each of the 8 slices of toasted bread. Top 4 of the slices with bacon, slices of tomato and lettuce. Top with ramaining 4 slices of bread. Cut each sandwich in half. Serves 4.

For an extra dose of healthy yumminess, I had these with Canada Dry Green Tea Ginger Ale. Antioxidelicious!
