This is the arugula version of the famous Bacon Lettuce Tomato Sandwich. Bacon arugula tomato sandwich is an easy summer sandwich when tomatoes are ripe and ready.
Ripe Tomatoes make the best summer bacon arugula tomato sandwiches.
Buy mayonnaise or make your own at home. Check out how to make bacon easy and fast. Otherwise, this arugula BLT is awesome with regular mayonnaise or one flavored with horseradish or sriracha.
Save Bacon Grease For Later
Save bacon grease in a clean jar with lid and put in refrigerator. You can use this as you would other oils. My mom used to cook popcorn with it - YUM. We also cook our morning eggs in it.
Bacon grease stays good in the refrigerator for at least 6 months if not a year. I have never tasted rancid bacon grease from the refrigerator, but we also use it within 6 month. I never strain it because I like all the bits. Strain it if you don't.
