Skinny BLT Lettuce Boats

Skinny BLT Lettuce Boats

Ingredients
  

  • 3 slices bacon, I used uncured, no nitrates
  • 1 slice whole grain or whole wheat bread
  • 1 tsp light butter or Smart Balance light
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ cup tomato, diced
  • 2 tbsps The BEST Skinny Ranch Dressing (3 ingredients, or store-bought light ranch)
  • 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
  • avocado slices, optional

Instructions
 

  • To Cook Bacon: Line a microwaveable plate with several paper towels. Place 3 bacon strips on the paper. Cover with paper towels.  Cook in microwave for 3-5 minutes until well done and crispy. Add all cooked strips to clean paper towels. Cool, and crumble.
  • To Make Croutons: Toast bread. Spread with 1 teaspoon light butter and sprinkle with a little garlic powder. Cut into bite size pieces. Set aside.
  • Stack 2 lettuce leaves and add both stacks to the place. Divide among the lettuce boats, tomatoes, crumbled bacon homemade croutons. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon skinny ranch dressing. 
  • Serve with a fork and knife since it will be easier to eat. 
  • Although this recipe serves 2 lettuce boats for a main course and 1 for a side serving, this recipe can be easily multiplied into as many servings as desired.
