BLT with Avocado Spread

It’s been really warm here in Vancouver recently, and I thought it would be a good idea to make something lighter and simpler that doesn’t require a lot of stove time. I have left-over bacon slices in the fridge and a couple of avocadoes from a recent visit to the grocery store. So, along with some lettuce leaves, lime, tomato and red onion, I decided to make these BLTs with avocado spread. BLT on an artisan roll was quite a treat. It was delicious and satisfying. Yummy!
