Directions
- Add a Spicy Spread: Swap out traditional vegan mayo for a spicier version. Mix sriracha or your favorite hot sauce into vegan mayo to give your sandwich a fiery kick. You can also experiment with vegan chipotle mayo or harissa for a smoky flavor.
- Incorporate Avocado: Adding slices of ripe avocado not only brings a creamy texture to your sandwich but also boosts its nutritional profile. For an extra twist, mash the avocado with a little lime juice, salt, and chili flakes to make a quick guacamole spread.
- Pickled Additions: Incorporate pickled vegetables like cucumbers, carrots, or red onions to add a tangy crunch to your sandwich. These pickled goodies provide a delightful contrast to the creamy and spicy elements in your BLT.
- Crispy Shallots or Onions: For a delightful crunch and a hint of sweetness, top your sandwich with crispy fried shallots or onions. These can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container to keep them crunchy. They add a wonderful texture and depth of flavor that enhances the overall sandwich. Don’t overdo the onions to keep it lower carb.
- Toast it up: Toasting the bread lightly can add a pleasing crunch and warmth to the sandwich.
- Zesty Lemon Tahini Dressing: Drizzle a lemon tahini dressing over the ingredients before closing up the sandwich. Mix tahini paste, lemon juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt to create this creamy, tangy dressing. It not only binds the flavors together but also adds a creamy consistency that complements the other textures in the sandwich.
Each of these options adds a unique layer of flavor and texture to your low carb, vegan BLT, making it even more enjoyable and satisfying!
