Your Guide to Building a BLT Board

SET THE FOUNDATION WITH BREAD

DLM Artisan Bread is the perfect foundation for any sandwich, especially a BLT. You'll love DLM Classic 10-Grain and DLM Unbleached White Sandwich Bread. For a twist, try our Turkey Red Wheat Oatmeal Stout Pan Bread or DLM Asiago Cheese Bread. The only question now is to toast or not?

GORGEOUS GREENS & TOMATOES 

Nothing beats a ripe local tomato and we have plenty thanks to the Amish tomatoes brought to us by Eicher Family Farm. Switch it up with heirloom varieties or try roasted tomatoes to ramp up the umami flavor. Crisp iceberg lettuce is a go-to for the classic BLT or try a crunchy romaine or spicy arugula for a peppery kick.

BRING ON THE BACON

Once you try DLM Uncured Bacon, nitrite and nitrate free, you'll be hooked. With several flavors, everyone has their favorite. Me? I am a fan of Applewood Smoked with its subtle sweetness. Or, if you are looking to switch things up, try Pancetta with your favorite complementing components. 

MAGNIFICENT MAYOS 

Good ol' Hellmann's is hard to beat, but try Duke’s with your ripest tomatoes! Add some excitement by whipping up either a chipotle mayo or pesto mayo. Simply mix 3 Tbsp of mayonnaise with either 1 Tbsp pesto or 1 Tbsp of the sauce from a can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce.
