Greek salad has infinite incarnations and this fun Greek recipe for a BLT is just one of them! Best of all…the Kalamata Olive Mayo, made with Greek yogurt! That’s a recipe from my most recent book, My Greek Table.
6large slices good quality whole wheat sourdough bread
3tablespoonsKalamata olive mayo
6– 8 crisp iceberg or romaine lettuce leaveswashed and dry
2firmripe tomatoes, cored and sliced into thin rounds
1medium cucumberpreferably organic, trimmed and shaved or cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch slices
1green bellseeded and cut into thin rings
1small red onionsliced into thin rounds
12slicesbaconcooked until crisp
Instructions
Mash the feta, oregano and olive oil together and set aside.
Lightly toast the bread.
Spread the mashed feta on 3 of the 6 slices of bread and spread the Kalamata olive mayo on the other 3 slices. Use one of each per sandwich.
Place two lettuce leaves on each of the bread slices spread with Kalamata olive paste. Then, build the sandwiches: place the cucumber strips, a few tomato slices, the pepper slices and onions over the lettuce. Finish each sandwich with two slices of bacon and cover with the remaining slice of toast, spread with the feta mixture. Cut in half if desired, secure with toothpicks and serve.
