Total time: 20 min
Yield: 1 sandwich
Ingredients: 4 slices bacon; 4 whole-wheat buns (split and lightly toasted); 1 ½ cups lump crab meat; 2 inch tomatoes (ripe, cut into ¼ slices); 1 head Bibb lettuce ((or Boston)); ½ cup mayonnaise; 1 tablespoon tarragon (fresh, optional)

Here is a recipe that offers a little twist on the classic BLT sandwich…if you so desire. With some fresh locally grown or homegrown tomatoes you cannot go wrong whether you decide to include the crabmeat or not. I do admit this is not an entrée my kids will dig into, but they do like bacon and the bread so I just gave them some of that along with a few other kid-friendly items.
