I told you guys about my love for tartines, little open faced sandwiches for snacks and how dietitians say this is a fabulous snack. So, I found a little tartine inspiration recently, and had to share it with you.

Idon’t know what’s going on, but I’ve been totally craving a BLT (you know, bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich). And I don’t even like bacon that much! My solution: An ALT (avocado, lettuce, or maybe arugula, and tomato sandwich), inspired by a post over at Test With Skewer. But for a snack, I’ll use just one slice of bread and make it an open-faced sandwich.
