A traditional bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich is a summer classic that's hard to resist. But oh, the fat! Update your BLT with Frontier Bac'Uns for a healthier -- and easier --alternative.
Here's how you can make a tasty, nutritious BLT in less than five minutes:
· Spread bread or toast with mayonnaise (low fat or no fat mayo is best) and cover generously with Frontier Bac'Uns.
· Layer several lettuce leaves on top of the Bac'Uns and top with fresh tomato slices and second bread slice.
Three Tasty Tips:
- Use a meaty, rich tomato with a good balance of sweet and tart for the best flavor. Heirloom tomatoes such as Brandywine and Black Krim are perfect.
- Use whole wheat bread to boost both flavor and nutrition.
- Add some basil. Sprinkle the mayonnaise with dried basil or use fresh basil leaves with (or as a replacement for) the lettuce.
A 55-gram serving of Frontier Bac'Uns contains 5 grams of fat, (only 4% saturated fat), 210 calories and 8 grams of fiber--while the same amount of regular bacon has 23 grams of fat (35% saturated), 270 calories and no dietary fiber. |
