BLT Makeover

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound nitrite-free bacon (8 to 10 slices)
  • 4 teaspoons light canola mayonnaise
  • 8 slices 100% whole wheat bread
  • 8 Romaine lettuce leaves, washed and dried
  • 4 thin slices tomato

Directions

  1. Cook the bacon according to package directions until crispy. Pat well between paper towels to remove excess fat.
  2. To make each sandwich, spread the mayonnaise evenly over the bread slices. Layer evenly with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 tomato slice, 2 to 3 slices bacon, and 1 more lettuce leaf. Place the remaining bread slices firmly on top.
  3. Slice in half, wrap in plastic wrap or place in a zip-top bag, and pack in your child’s lunch box.
