BRING HOME THE BACON!

BLTs are one of those things you think have to be off limits, right? Bacon...lettuce...tomato... and MAYO.  On bread?!  Yikes!  Well, don't write off this popular American favorite just yet, because, as usual, Hungry Girl has a solution.  Just be a tiny bit smarter about your ingredients, and your BLT will have less than HALF the calories and a fraction of the fat grams your standard, run of the mill BLT has.  Check out this swaptastic recipe!

BLT MAKEOVER
HG's Guilt-Free 1-2-3 BLT
Ingredients:
2 slices of Wonder Light Bread, Weight Watchers Bread (or another 40-calorie per slice bread)
2 slices Louis Rich Turkey Bacon
2 slices of tomato
2 tsp. of Hellmann's/Best Foods reduced-fat mayo
1 romaine lettuce leaf
Directions:
Toast your bread. Prepare your bacon in the microwave while bread is toasting.  Smear a teaspoon of mayo on each half.  Break bacon pieces in half.  Assemble your sandwich, using all remaining ingredients -- bacon, lettuce and tomato.  Cut in half.  Serve with pickles.  Yummmmmm!
