Recipe: Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Wraps

Do you ever crave a BLT but want to switch it up? Here is a simple recipe you'll love - and you get to make your own mayonnaise.

Trust me, once you make homemade mayo, you will never want to go back to store-bought again! IT’s so easy, fresh, and delicious.

There are a ton of GREAT wrap alternatives on the market too - check out your grocery or natural foods store for wraps made out of coconut or almond flour.

Ingredients for the Wrap:

• 2 slices of Applegate or other uncured/pastured/nitrate-free bacon

• 2 tomato slices

• Lettuce of your choice

• 1 Tbsp homemade mayo

• Coconut or other gluten-free wrap

Ingredients for the Mayo:

• 1 extra-large egg

• 1 cup of oil: extra-light olive oil, avocado oil, or a blend of the two

• 3 tsp apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice

• Pinch of salt (Himalayan sea salt is great)

Directions for the Mayo:

There are 2 options, depending on what equipment you have. Note - you can also include herbs, spices, garlic, etc… into your mayo.

1. High speed blender (like a Vitamix) - Place all the ingredients in the blender and blend ‘em up until the mayonnaise appears. All the oil should be fully incorporated into the mixture.

2. Immersion Mixer - Place all the ingredients in a glass jar or other narrow-mouthed container and immerse the mixer all the way to the bottom of the container. Begin mixture, and continue until all the oil is incorporated into the resulting mayonnaise.

Directions for the Wrap:

1. Assemble the wrap! Grab a Wrap, slater on the mayo, add the tomato, lettuce, and bacon, and voila!
