BLT Skewers With Avocado Sauce

BLT Skewers with Avocado Sauce brings all of the flavors of the sandwich that we love to your fingertips!

There are a lot of events this time of year that have me entertaining. I’m always looking for new no-fuss appetizers. I had some bacon leftover from the Bacon, Lettuce Tomato and Avocado sandwiches we had for dinner. I just thought that making a BLT Skewers with Avocado Sauce would be perfect for any entertaining that I was doing.

The men in our family love bacon. In all fairness, so do the ladies. So serving this on Father’s Day would be a great idea, and all of the beautiful colors make it perfect all summer long. Talk about fun and delicious!
