Spicy Veggie “BLT”

While making my sandwich today, for some reason I had it in my head that I was creating a spicy plant-based spin on the classic BLT. Well, after eating it, I realized that perhaps this title was a little bit of a stretch. It is, however, totally satisfying– and absolutely qualifies for the the easy-healthy-delish category. So can we just agree to throw some air quotes around Spicy BLT and call it a day?

How spicy this ends up being is completely dependent on the heat level of the salsa used; I used the hot one of course. The “B” (aka bacon) is substituted with dulse strips: a seaweed with an excellent salty flavor just like bacon would provide, minus the unhealthy saturated fat and bad cholesterol.

INGREDIENTS:

2 sliced sprouted bread (I used Ezekiel Sesame), lightly toasted if desired
1/2 avocado, mashed
1-2 Tbsp fresh salsa (amount is dependent upon spice level)
1/4 cup dulse strips (or 1 1/2 Tbsp dulse flakes)
a couple of lettuce leaves

DIRECTIONS:

Assemble: Toast the bread if desired. Spread the avocado on one side, and salsa on the other. Distribute the dulse evenly atop of the avocado, stack with lettuce, and put the sides together. Boom. Spicy Sandwich Satisfaction.
