  • Lettuce, romaine - 4 leaves , torn
  • Avocados - 1 , mashed
  • Lemon juice - 1/2 tsp
  • Foil - for baking
  • Bacon - 12 strips
  • Sandwich bread - 8 slices
Honey Dijon Green Beans:
  • Green beans - 1 lb , trimmed
  • Vinegar, red or white wine - 1 Tbsp
  • Mustard, Dijon - 1 1/2 tsp (use large grain / stone ground if you have it)
  • Honey - 1 1/2 tsp
  • Oil, olive - 2 Tbsp

Prep

  1. Green beans - (If prepping right before cooking, get oven heating before continuing with prep.) Trim green beans. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead.)
  2. Make vinaigrette - Whisk together vinegar, mustard, and honey. Add oil while whisking. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  3. Tomatoes / Lettuce - Prep as directed. (Tear lettuce leaves so that they are roughly the size of the slices of bread.)
  4. Mash avocados - Mash avocados with lemon juice. Season with some salt and pepper.

Make

  1. Heat oven to 375F / 190C degrees.
  2. Line a sheet pan with foil and add bacon in a single layer. Cook bacon in oven until golden brown and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Pour off extra bacon grease during cooking if needed (to prevent bacon from being submerged in oil).
  3. While bacon is cooking, place green beans in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on high until tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Toss green beans with vinaigrette. Season with some salt and pepper.
  5. Toast bread.
  6. Assemble sandwiches by spreading mashed avocado on half the bread slices. Top with tomatoes, lettuce, bacon, and remaining slices of bread. Serve with green beans on the side and enjoy!
