Vine ripened tomatoes are finally available at my FARMERS’ MARKET and the way I enjoy them most is in a big, juicy, luscious
Bacon Lettuce & Tomato Sandwich
homemade crusty bread, mayo, thick cut smoky applewood bacon, sliced vine-ripened tomato and crispy lettuce
Oh Mama, this is where it’s at!

There isn’t a better sandwich! We eat our fill during the summer because only summer tomatoes are worthy of the sandwich!

When I was a little girl..we would sometimes go shopping and stop at the Woolworth’s diner area:) On those stools..and that was what she would order..a slim beautiful woman..so elegant..w/ her BLT:)

Hi Monique – I remember sitting at the Woolworth’s counter with my great-grandmother. It was her favorite place to have lunch. Wow…that’s very strange about your tomatoes.

Yes indeed! My absolute favorite summer sandwich–and, you’ve even added that obligatory pickle that makes one even more outstanding!!
Best,

I so agree! It’s one of the greatest pleasures of summer for me-enjoy:@)

That first photo is making my mouth water! Or should I just call it drooling! I can’t get enough of these delicious tomatoes and BLT’s are probably one of my favorites!

Our spring tomatoes have just about had it. I’ve been cleaning up the garden to put in the fall tomatoes.
That’s one of my all-time favourite lunches!

Oh yeah, a BLT is the way to go with fresh summer tomatoes. And homemade bread makes it doubly good!
We’ve been enjoying tomatoes since the 1st of July, and it is heavenly.

I, too, am a longtime Oregonian and love your blog. Found it through Gollum…
I can’t wait for my own tomatoes to ripen! My husband and I make a toasted tomato sandwich with Best Foods mayo and salt and pepper and then we stand over the sink to eat them! I’ll have to come say hello at the Beaverton Farmer’s Market.. Cheers!
Perfect way to use those beautiful summer tomatoes! Now I really want a BLT!

There is nothing like fresh tomatoes. I just attended a salsa making class and can’t wait to start using tomatoes to make it. The tomatoes and that BLT look great:)

We just enjoyed another BLT today for lunch. I’m so glad that you shared this post about the sweet simplicity of unadulterated BLT’s! It’s the best way to enjoy the outstanding singular flavors of the season! Nothing needs to be added at all! Enjoy your tomato season!

Unless it’s a grilled cheese sandwich, is there anything better than a BLT? Had a delicious one yesterday.
