The Perfect BLT (Duke's Mayo)

delish!

There is nothing better than a BLT on a lazy summer evening.

Fresh, homegrown tomatoes are ripe, juicy and everyone's garden has too many for one household to eat (hello free tomatoes!). The smell of frying bacon permeates the house. If you're feeling crazy you may thinly slice a vidalia onion for a little kick. But have you ever wondered what makes the perfect BLT? It's pretty simple: Duke's mayonnaise. You can thank me later.

Duke's - the secret of great southern cooks!

I think my sister introduced me to Duke's and I am forever grateful. Miracle whip is full of high-fructose corn syrup and Hellman's comes packed with more sugar. According to Duke's website, their mayo contains no additional sugar, which, they point out, is "especially important for those with diabetes," or, you know, people who don't want sugar on their sandwich. It lets the flavor of everything else on the sandwich come out, while having that creamy, smooth texture you know and love. Seriously, if you aren't eating this with a BLT in your hand by now, stop what you are doing and go make one. I won't be offended.

Anyways... next time you want a perfect BLT, remember to salt your tomatoes, and don't forget Duke's mayo.

(P.S. don't forget to light a scented candle so your shit doesn't smell like bacon for days.)
