ALT, the BLT alternative

Bag the bacon.  For sheer fatty, lip-smacking lusciousness, there is nothing like an ALT.

2 slices of your favorite bread (a rustic white or sour dough works well)
1 ripe Haas Avocado (the black bumpy kind)
1 slice ripe tomato
2 crisp lettuce leaves
1 paper thin slice of sweet onion (optional)
Tabasco or Red Pepper sauce (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Assemble and eat!
