BLC's with Peppered Balsamic Mayo
I know that I have mentioned this before, but I love a good BLT. What I love even more is a good BLC (Bacon, Lettuce and Cucumber). I became a fan of BLC's a few years ago and honestly, unless I order one when I am out or someone makes one for me, I always use cucumber instead of tomato. My theory.. cucumbers are always fresh - tomatoes, not so much. Of course, when I saw this recipe for peppered balsamic mayo... well, the logical choice was to try it. I mean, my favorite sandwich made with a delicious new kind of mayo??? I would have been a fool to pass it up, right? :)

Okay, judgment call: I like homemade pickled cuke slices. What do you think for this sandwich?
ReplyDeleteStephen - I say if you like the pickled cucs, give it a shot. I think they would definitely bring more flavor to the sandwich, if nothing else! Let me know if you try it :)
ReplyDeleteI happen to think a BLT is the best sandwich in the world. I always wait until July when we get our first tomatoes to start enjoying BLT's. GREAT idea with the cucumber. And this mayo sounds really good Jenn. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteOh YES. love cucumbers in a sandwich. They have such a fresh, summery taste!
ReplyDeleteLooks very good Jenn, but I'll have to stick with the T. :-)
ReplyDeleteYum! I love BLT's sooo much, but I think I will try this. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
there is something a little genius about this idea... I too am never that keen on a BLT for exactly that reason... the C would be a great alternative... only one way to find out I guess... love the mayo too, very chic!
ReplyDeleteBLT's are my favorite and I am shocked I never thought to try cucumber on them. The mayo sounds fabulous.
ReplyDeleteAlexis would KILL me if I made this for her. Cukes make her burp involuntarily, lol.
