Today I’m sharing with you one of my favorite summer sandwiches!
I’m sure you have seen a similar sandwich elsewhere, and I know this probably isn’t an original creation, but oh well!
We call this a “California” BLT because my husband and I “invented” this sandwich while we lived in California. See what we did there? Interesting fact.
Here are the basic ingredients. You can of course use whatever bacon you prefer, whether it’s full strength, turkey, or veggie. These veggie Morningstar Farms ones are classic and yummy!
First up, make some guacamole. My quick way is to mash avocado with a fresh salsa. You get the onion, cilantro, garlic and acidity all in one with the salsa. If you need a quick guac, that’s my top tip! 
Next, build the sandwich! Toast the bread. Add a layer of guacamole. Then add the sprouts, bacon, and cucumber. Top with your other slice of bread.
And done! Yum-o!!
We had some roasted potatoes. Quite a satisfying meal!
Mommy Tip: For those that do Baby Led Weaning, you can easily break this sandwich up into baby friendly parts. My daughter is obsessed with avocado, and would probably eat the guacamole or certainly just the avocado. The bread can be cut up into strips. Even the cucumber for the littles with a few teeth would be tasty!
Anyway, here’s a “proper” recipe:
California BLT Sandwich
Ingredients:
Bread
Avocado (2)
Fresh Salsa (approx 4 TB)
Bacon – your choice – 3 strips per sandwich
Sprouts
Cucumber
Any other sandwich toppings you prefer!
1. Toast sandwich bread
2. Cook the bacon according to package instructions.
3. Make your guacamole – for my quick version, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add to the avocado 2-3 TB of salsa. Mash. If the avocado needs a bit more salsa to help mash (if they are barely ripe and little firm), add.
4. Build your sandwich! In our house, the order is: Bread, Avocado, Sprouts, Bacon, Cucumber, Bread.
Enjoy!!
