There is no better way to savor summer's fresh flavors than with a gourmet BLT with avocado and arugula.
Ingredients
- Crusty French Bread
- In season beefsteak tomato cut thick
- 2 teaspoon Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Clove Garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper
- ¼ Avocado per sandwich sliced
- Pickled red onion to taste thinly sliced (can substitute rinsed non-pickled red onion)
- 2 in strips of cooked Bacon per sandwich cut half
- cup ¼ scant Arugula per sandwich
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the oil, vinegars, garlic, salt and pepper.
