Seitan Bacon and Arugula BLT
I have 2 favorite summer sandwiches. A BLT and a Tomato and Mayo Sandwich. Especially when they are made with Heirloom Tomatoes that I grow in my own garden. Unfortunately this year all 4 of our tomato plants failed miserably. In fact our whole garden failed miserably thanks to The Marx Brothers.
Its’s also taken us all summer to get to our local Farmers Market held each Saturday. When we finally did go I picked up the most beautiful tomatoes. They were so delicious. You can taste the sunshine that helped grown them. So perfect. After buying these tomatoes I promptly made my us some BLT’s subbing Seitan Bacon for the “B” and Arugula for the “L’. We usually enjoy my own Coconut Bacon on our BLT’s but this time the Seitan Bacon is from the Upton’s Naturals brand and the mayo I use is by Just Mayo. My love for Just Mayo might just be a whole other post.
Tomato and Just Mayo on Toast
I like my bread slightly toasted, I like my mayo to be on the bit of way too much mayo and my tomatoes need to be perfect. Plus lots of salt and fresh cracked pepper. I can easily eat 2-3 of these at a time, but I don’t, usually. We lucked out with some great store bought cherry tomatoes that I sliced in half for some Tomato and Mayo Sandwiches. Its one of the first times I’ve had store bought tomatoes be good enough for these sandwiches.
We are hopeful that next year our garden will work out so we can eat these with tomatoes straight from out backyard.
