Bacon, fried green tomato, lettuce, and a remoulade sauce on buttered, toasted bread.

I’m with jfosty27, salmon is awesome, esp. with an avacado aioli. But I guess adding the salmon really makes it a great fish sandwich, no longer a simple BLT.

[JimLinebarger]

With beer, liquor, and tequila, seems you are pretty well set.

[JCGrill]

There was a restaurant on DDD that did a BLT with soft shell crab. Looked awesome.

[BFlynn]

Ditch the lettuce. That's what my food eats.

Avocado and Boiled Shrimp {optional}

Get a great tomato.

A wiser man than myself has said, "there's only 2 things that money can't buy - that's true love and home grown tomatoes".

I love the addition of avocado to a BLT. And you can do a helluva lot of variation with different spreads or aiolis to change the character of the sammie. Not being able to do the tomatoes sux but you could try different combos like roasted red peppers, charred poblanos etc with chipotle mayo or different mustards. I mean obviously the more you do the further you get away from a BLT but hell, if its a delicious sammie with bacon on it even without tomato its some kind of BLT in my book.

I had a double decker the other day.

toast
mayo
lettuce
Dubliner cheddar
red onion
bacon
tomato
guacamole
toast
guacamole
roasted red pepper
bacon
tomato
Dubliner cheddar
lettuce
mayo
toast

It looks thicker than it was, although it was pretty thick. The mayo, guac, and lettuce layers were pretty thin. It was one hella good sammich.

I can't help Mosca. I know you are looking for alternatives for your wife's diet restrictions but I just don't think there's any reason to mess with the original version. I don't even appreciate it when we have to use whole grain bread instead of white. That just ruins it for me.

My favorite BLT is:

toasted sourdough, thick sliced
thick cut, black peppered bacon
cherokee purple tomato, one slice fits the sammich
bibb lettuce
Duke's mayo
Salt/pepper.

But I'm in agreement with everything listed thus far.

[smokenoob]

Jfrosty27 I’m with him, toss some salmon in there!

[SmokingPat]

Use marinated tomatoes.

Goes without saying. BLT means you use MiracleWhip. Forget the Mayo and go with the classic.

Swap the bacon for... we call it peameal bacon, I think it is Canadian bacon in the US. Cured pork loin rolled in corn meal.
