Here's a slimmed-down version of a classic American sandwich: the bacon, lettuce and tomato. Make it your own by using your favorite light bread, or regular bread that's sliced thin. When it's tomato season, buy the most colorful ones you can find. Both yellow and red tomato slices would be super cute and tasty. Pair this with a bowl of vegetable soup for a complete meal.
