The sandwich to have while history is being made (at least in my opinion)

Epicurious is like food-porn. So much delicious stuff that you'll never really have but the thought of which can make one drool like Homer Simpson in ecstasy.

Having found avocados for a mere $1 each at Price Rite, this week has been avocado fest for me. This is what I was eating while cozied up on the couch watching the inauguration.

This is what the Epicurious recipe has in it (makes 2 sandwiches):

6 bacon slices
5 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 firm-ripe California avocado (8 to 10 ounces)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
4 slices whole-grain bread, toasted
1/2 cup radish sprouts


The herbs get mixed with the mayo, and the lemon juice is to toss the avocado slices in, so they don't turn brown.


I made this with alfalfa sprouts instead of radish sprouts, and added a couple slices of red onion. Also, I used veggie bacon, "Smart Bacon" produced locally by Lightlife in Turners Falls, MA.
