This simple BLT snack is keto friendly, super simple, and yummy. And even better yet, you can take the basic idea and ingredients and modify it to serve it several different ways.
Sometimes, especially when you’re trying to watch you weight, you’ve just got to have a snack. A girl can’t be good all the time, can she?
This low carb tomato snack gives you the flavor of a BLT sandwich without the bread. You could even serve this wrapped in a lettuce leaf or finely chop a small amount of lettuce to go underneath the avocado.
Or you could expand this recipe by chopping the tomato and avocado, mixing it with salad dressing or mayonnaise, and adding the bacon bits. Then you could put the mixture on to a small lettuce leaf to wrap and serve to make a faux (and still keto) bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich.
And I can see where you could also modify the recipe a bit to turn it into a mixture that you added to your green salad mix to truly make it a salad meal.
However you decide to serve it, you’ve got all that great BLT flavor without the carbs that you’re trying so hard to avoid. This snack makes avoiding the carbs a little bit easier…hallelujah!
