Simple and Tasty Caesar BLT Recipe

Serious Mealtimes / Amanda Suarez

Like a bored emperor a BLT wants nothing more than to continue to expand its dominance by conquering new realms. I would argue that of all the possible conquests a classic bacon lettuce and tomato can make adding the savory salty flavors of a Caesar salad is one of the most devastatingly delicious. The result is an umami kick on the tongue but in a good way: it’s a wild rocket ride into flavor space.

You start with all the BLT basics: toasted sandwich bread smoky crisp bacon refreshing crunchy lettuce (except we swapped out iceberg lettuce for romaine in honor of the Caesar) and juicy sweet summer tomatoes. But now you’re kicking that up a notch with briny anchovies in what’s the culinary equivalent of a political marriage of the realms. Will you bacon of the land take anchovies—the bacon of the sea—as your lawfully wedded power partner? Yes yes we will.
