Low-Carb BLT Cucumber Salad: A Refreshing Twist on a Classic

 
INGREDIENTS

3 slices crisp-cooked bacon, chopped 1/2 cup finely chopped lettuce 1/2 cup finely chopped baby spinach 1/4 cup diced tomato 1‑1/2 tablespoons nonfat mayonnaise Pinch salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 large cucumber Minced parsley or green onion (optional)

PREPARATION:

  1. Combine bacon, lettuce, spinach, tomato and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  2. Peel cucumber. Trim off ends and slice in half lengthwise. Use spoon to scoop out seeds; discard seeds. Divide BLT mixture between cucumber halves, mounding in hollowed areas. Garnish with parsley. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
Note Make these snacks when cucumbers are plentiful and large enough to easily hollow out with a spoon. You may make these up to 12 hours ahead of time and chill until serving.
