    B.L.A.T.T.O.

    Ok, so maybe this is actually more of a club sandwich – but I don’t care, because it’s much more fun to call it a B.L.A.T.T.O. : a Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, Turkey, Tomato, and Onion sandwich. A B.L.T. with onions and avocado is my absolute favorite sandwich, and I had some delicious thinly sliced turkey which I layered on to make it an even taller, heartier, and (of course) more delicious sandwich. For more delicious B.L.T. ideas for summer – check out this post I wrote last summer!
