I loved this and my son didn't like the sauce. 5 stars because I'm pullin' the mom card. This is really good. <br/><br/>I think I might cut back on the salt if I am ever allowed to eat adult food again and the lemon juice but that is just me and my own personal preference.

Outstanding. Thank you for yet another fabulous recipe. The Caesar mayo is what sets this blt apart. It adds such a wonderful flavor and complements the bacon, tomato and lettuce very well. I made half of the mayo - made 2 sandwiches - and still have some mayo left! I only already had anchovy paste in my fridge and estimated to use 1/2 t. of it for half the recipe. It seemed to be perfect! Made for KK's Chef Pick forum.

This was delicious! I love BLTs and caesar dressing so this was sure to be a winner with me. I used regular bacon and left out the anchovy but otherwise made it as written. YUM! Thanks, kitty!

One of the best BLT's I have had and it is the Caesar Mayo that gives it the edge, which I will be using up on salad. I scaled this back to one and only put in half the amount of anchovies which suited me and served in in a wholemeal wholegrain bun. Thank you kittycatmom for a wonderful lunch, made for Everyday a Holiday.

A rockin' sandwich that kid#3 just adored. I didn't have a specialy bread, but was still great on honey wheat. Made for Everyday is a Holiday tagged 5/24
