BLT’s with Avocado
A quick summer dinner doesn't have to be boring. Make these BLTs extra-special with the addition of avocados (and maybe some heirloom tomatoes from the farmer's market). Swapping avocado for the mayo gives you an extra veggie without even thinking about it. Make it even healthier by substituting turkey bacon.
