BLTs with Homemade Mayo
Hubby and I got REALLY spoiled this summer. We been getting a huge bag of tomatoes in our CSA box every week since the end of July. I’ve eaten so many tomato sandwiches, I’m surprised I haven’t turned red…
While I’ve been enjoying my sandwiches with just some CSA lettuce, big slices of tomato, and a thin slather of homemade mayo on some hearty whole wheat bread, Hubby prefers his with a bit of protein. The obvious choice for him is bacon.
I always season my tomato slices pretty heavily with course sea salt and freshly ground pepper. I remember watching Ina Garten once saying on her show that you’d be amazed at how much salt tomatoes can take on. The salt really brightens the flavor of the tomatoes.
As I said, we’ve been spoiled and I’m definitely going to miss these sandwiches in a few weeks… Our CSA letter this week said this would be our last week of tomatoes for the year…
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Gorgeous spring/summer salad!
absolutely refreshing!
Yum, I love sweet salads!
That is a gorgeous salad. Have you thought about adding some mango to it?
I have a recipe similar with mangos and strawberries and it is delicious. I have made it with strawberries alone and it was just as good, though.
I have not thought to add mango to this salad. Sounds intriguing.
It’s perfect! And we’re sharing your lovely work on the FB page, Twitter and our website today! Thank you for sharing such a great recipe. I absolutely love it!
