Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole large ripe tomato
- 1 whole avocado
- 4 slices bacon slices
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the tomato into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mash until smooth and creamy.
Lay out two large lettuce leaves on each serving plate to form a 'base'.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on each lettuce base.
Place the tomato slices evenly on top of the mayonnaise-covered lettuce.
Distribute crispy bacon slices over the tomato.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture over the bacon.
Top the sandwich with fresh basil leaves, tear or slice them if necessary for even coverage.
Optionally, season with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving.
