- Place a few slices of the Bare Acre Beefsteak Tomatoes on two of the bread slices.
- Season the tomato slices with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Layer the crispy bacon slices on top of the tomatoes.
- Add a generous handful of the Bare Acre Aromatic Salad on top of the bacon.
- Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down.
Serve:
