1 loaf of your favorite artisan style bread such as olive bread, multi grain or 1 loaf seeded bread, etc
4 slices bacon or 4 slices vegetarian bacon
mixed greens (mezclun) or baby spinach leaves or both mixed greens and spinach, rinsed and patted dry
2 small firm roma tomatoes, sliced or 2 small yellow tomatoes
1 small red onion, sliced
mayonnaise, for spreading
salt or fresh ground pepper
fresh basil leaf (not dried)
avocado, sliced (optional)
alfalfa sprout (optional)

1 Cook bacon until crisp and set aside on a paper towel to soak up the grease, if necessary.
2 You can toast or leave untoasted the bread. Cut bread into sandwich slices.
3 Spread a little bit of mayonnaise or pesto onto one side of each slice of bread.
4 Layer the bacon, the salad greens, the tomatoes, the red onion, and basil leaves, the avocado and alfalfa sprouts if using onto one slice of bread. I use about four basil leaves for each sandwich. Season sandwich with salt and pepper if desired.
5 Place the other slice of bread on top and very gently push down on the sandwich.
6 Cut in half or in quarters.
7 Serve with a smile on your face.
