Ingredients

  • 1 4-inch piece baguette
  • 2 slices low-sodium applewood-smoked bacon

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 spear romaine lettuce
  • 2 thick slices heirloom tomato

    Made this for dinner tonight and it was a success. I changed a few things since I didn't have everything it called for. I had ciabatta bread so I used that instead. Also, my husband wanted it more meaty so I added turkey deli meat to it. It turned out really good! Loved the fresh mozzarella and the pesto/mayo spread!

    This recipe is very easy and tasty, perfect summer meal. I made my own pesto instead of store bought and turned out GREAT. The combination of the mozzarella, tomato and pesto all blended together nicely.
