BLT
A BLT is a type of sandwich that traditionally consists of three primary ingredients: bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The acronym "BLT" is derived from the initial letters of these components. Typically, the sandwich is made using toasted bread, which can vary in type, such as white, whole wheat, or sourdough. The bacon is usually cooked until crispy, while the lettuce is often added in whole leaves or shredded, and the tomato is typically sliced. Many variations exist, with some recipes incorporating additional ingredients like mayonnaise, avocado, or different types of greens. The BLT is popular for its combination of flavors and textures, featuring the savory crunch of bacon, the freshness of lettuce, and the juiciness of tomato. It is often served as a casual meal or snack and is a staple in many delis and restaurants.
