These spicy and delicious BLT comes with a twist – buffalo wing sauce which perfectly compliments the crisp, cool, celery in the mix. An easy dinner or lunch that takes no time to prepare and keeps everyone happy! I used Wing Time Buffalo Sauce which is gluten-free and has that traditional, spicy buffalo wing flavor I crave. Note: it’s spicy so for little ones who aren’t ready for the heat, just keep the sauce off the top. They’ll love the fun of the lettuce cup paired with the deliciousness of the BLT!
Oh and if you haven’t discovered Hampton Creek’s Just Mayo yet…well, you’re welcome. 🙂 If you can’t find that or the buffalo sauce at your local natural grocer, you can find it online at the links above.

Notes
If you don't like a lot of heat, you can top the BLT mixture with gluten-free BBQ sauce instead.
I serve this dish with a fresh-pressed greens juice. It's cool and refreshing and offsets the spice of the buffalo sauce. Plus, it's so nutrient-dense, it leaves you feeling full!
