Main Ingredients

Garlic Aioli

French Vinaigrette

Method

Preparing the Garlic Aioli

  1. 1

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp of lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

Preparing the French Vinaigrette

  1. 2

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In another small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar, 1 tsp of Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp of honey. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 8 slices of bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.

Preparing the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Toast the Ciabatta

    Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and toast them in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Assemble the BLT

    Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted ciabatta roll. Layer with mixed greens, followed by the crispy bacon, and then slice the tomato. Top with slices of tomato and drizzle with French vinaigrette. Place the top half of the ciabatta roll on to complete the sandwich.
