Ingredients
- 4 slices low sodium bacon

- 1 medium ripe tomato
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.5 avocado
- 2 tablespoons low sodium mayonnaise

Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the low sodium bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from the oven and place bacon on paper towels to drain excess fat.
Step 3
While the bacon is cooking, slice the ripe tomato into thin slices and cut the avocado into thin slices.
Step 4
Toast the whole wheat bread slices until they are golden brown.
Step 5
Spread 1 tablespoon of low sodium mayonnaise on one side of each of the four slices of toasted bread.
Step 6
Layer 2 slices of crispy bacon on top of 2 of the bread slices (mayonnaised side up).
Step 7
On top of the bacon, place a few slices of tomato, then add 2 lettuce leaves on each slice.
Step 8
Add the slices of avocado on top of the lettuce.
Step 9
Sprinkle the avocado with freshly ground black pepper for taste.
Step 10
Finish the sandwich by topping with the remaining slices of toasted bread, mayonnaise side down.
Step 11
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
