The Ultimate BLAT Grinder Sandwich in No Time!

The Ultimate BLAT Grinder Sandwich in No Time!

Hey all! I’m bringing you a good one today. The BLAT Grinder sandwich is a great anytime sandwich that feeds a small crowd plus is perfect for those hot summer nights when stands over a hot stove for hours is less than ideal. Packed with tons of fresh veggies, these sammies are so refreshing but filling at the same time. My family loves them and there are never any leftovers! It could even be enjoyed sans bread!

I have no idea who started the viral chopped sandwich or grinder trend but I’m here for it. The grinder just has so many possibilities and room for personal customizations that it makes these recipes just the most perfect lunch or dinner delivery systems. This recipe comes from my love of BLATs and after a few tweaks, The BLAT Grinder was born. How can you go wrong with salty bacon and creamy avocado??

Swaps & Specs for BLAT Grinder:

• Add sriracha to the mayo in place of the dijon mustard for a spicy kick.

• Toast the bread and rub with a clove of garlic for another layer of flavor.

• Leave the bread out for a low carb option.

• Placing the tomatoes to drain on a paper towel makes the end result less messy because it reduces the liquid that will drip out.

• Add thinly, sliced red onion for a crunchy flavor kick.

• Since this is a recipe for a sandwich, be selective with the bread choice. it’s the whole vehicle of this tasty vessel so choose wisely. Soft but chewy. Firm, so it won’t fall apart but not super crusty.

• For the tomatoes be sure to use vine ripened. If you have your own garden, this is the time to shine! If not try a farm stand! Great vine ripened tomatoes totally make a huge difference in flavor.

• The avocados should not be overripe or close to because when you are mixing this all together, they will just mash and become lost in the frey. We want the chunks!!
