<br>Hungry Girl Edible Idol: BLT
<br> 	
<br>
<br>Yes, bacon was one of the original Edible Idols, but the mighty BLT sandwich is an icon in its own right. Get ready to celebrate in guilt-free fashion!
<br>
<br> 
<br> 	
<br>Breaking It Down…
<br>
<br>BACON! When it comes to strips of the crispy meat, we stick with either center-cut pork bacon (it's the leanest of all pork bacons) or regular turkey bacon (naturally pretty lean). Both options have about 30 calories and 2.5g fat per slice. For center-cut, check out Hormel Black Label; for turkey, we like Jennie-O and Oscar Mayer. Applegate Naturals Reduced Sodium Sunday Bacon and Uncured Turkey Bacon also fit the bill. Click here for more! 
<br>
<br>LETTUCE! Iceberg is a go-to if you're in the market for mild flavor and crunchy texture, but we like romaine best (extra crunch)! And confession time: We often use spinach as a stand-in for our BLT-inspired recipes. Not technically lettuce, but it totally works! 
<br>
<br>TOMATO! Think BIG... as in slices from LARGE tomatoes. One or two big slabs of tomato just make for a much more stable sandwich than several small slices. If you can get your hands on a beefsteak tomato, DO IT. Feeling unconventional? Try bagged sun-dried tomatoes -- if you can only find the kind packed in oil, drain and rinse them well. 
<br>
<br>BREAD! Light bread is the name of the game. Standard slices like the ones in the Sara Lee 45 Calories & Delightful line are great for a classic sandwich. But 100-calorie flat sandwich buns and Flatout Hungry Girl Foldit Flatbreads are also A-OK! To toast or not to toast? Totally your call...

<br>Hungry Girl's Best Condiments for BLTs
<br> 	
<br>The Add-Ons…
<br>
<br>Mayo - Fat-free mayo is a great way to keep stats down, with only about 10 calories per tablespoon. But if you're not a fan of the flavor, light mayo is also a valid option with about 40 calories and around 4g fat per tablespoon. 
<br>
<br>Mustard - When it comes to mustard, go nuts. It's super low in calories and tastes AMAZING with bacon. One of our favorites is the creamy Dijonnaise made by Best Foods/Hellmann's, which miraculously has only 5 fat-free calories a teaspoon. 
<br>
<br>Avocado - Fans of the BLTA, know this: Avocado is full of good-for-you, heart-healthy fats, BUT you don't want to go overboard with it. An ounce of it (about 1/4 avocado) has 45 calories and 4g fat. Measure it out, and indulge!
