BLTs are one of my favorite sandwiches. Rod’s too!

The combination of crispy, smoky bacon, cool crunchy lettuce and sweet and tangy ripe tomato is pretty hard to beat.

We love them all year round for lunch or a light supper; with a steamy bowl of soup in the cold weather months and fruit or salad during the summer.

They are especially yummy in the summer, when tomatoes are at their peak.

How to Make Your BLT Lighter and Healthier

Here are some ideas for how to make a lighter healthier bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich that won’t blow your calorie and points budget:

BreadSince I’m in maintenance mode, I use regular whole-grain bread, which costs 4 WW Points. If you want to save a point or two opt for light bread or light sandwich buns.
BaconCenter-cut pork bacon and turkey bacon are the leanest options.
LettuceIceberg or romaine provide the best crunch, but use whatever you like best and/or have on hand. Even spinach can work well and provide a nutritional boost.
TomatoA large beefsteak tomato is definitely the best option. Thick slices of tomato seem to be less likely to slip and slide.
MayoUse reduced-fat mayonnaise or change things up with mashed avocado.

Cooking Tip for Better Bacon

If I’m cooking just a few slices of bacon, I prefer to use a pan on the stove top. But, when I’m cooking an entire package I use the oven instead.

Lay the slices out in a baking dish at least 2″ deep and bake in a 400°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the meat just begins to brown and crisp around the edges (bacon, like other meat, will continue to cook after you remove it from the oven).

Not only will the bacon be perfect every time, but the fat will also render out more thoroughly this way, meaning your bacon doesn’t just taste better, it is better for you.

This video from America’s Test Kitchen shows you how to cook bacon perfectly every time:
