The one element that might be missing from the perfect BLT bite is a creaminess. Unless you're the kind of person who likes a lot of mayo, your BLT is likely going to be missing this element.
Ina Garten is a chef who is known for elevating the classics and her take on the BLT is simple yet effective. She suggests that you add a few slices of avocado to your BLT which adds a velvety texture, but also an increase in healthy fats that will help keep you full for longer. The difference between a BLT and a club sandwich is that the club adds a serving of turkey. The extra protein and calories in the turkey keep your belly satiated, while a BLT can be a bit sparse in this department.
By adding avocado to your BLT you're also adding extra nutrients to your sandwich. According to Medical News Today, avocado is a great source of Vitamins C, E, K, and B6. California's favorite fruit also contains riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium as well as lutein, beta carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. Wow! As an added bonus, Garten suggests you add a squeeze of lemon juice to keep the avocado from browning. The lemon also provides a little extra zip to your BLT. Who says change can't be good?
