Who doesn’t love a good BLT sandwich? Especially this
time of year when tomatoes are at their succulent best. But BLT’s are not very
good for us. Lots of fat from the bacon and mayo, not to mention the nitrates
in the bacon. Still, they are delicious and hard to resist. The next time you
have a craving for a BLT, try a BLT salad, instead—one made with naturally
cured turkey bacon—and a few other surprises. Trust me, you won’t be
disappointed, and you’ll satisfy your BLT craving in a healthful way.

olive oil
head of romaine lettuce
