During the fall when green tomatoes are around I always like to pickle some of them so that I can continue to enjoy them into the early months of winter. This fall was no different and I made several jars of them including a few jars where I sliced the green tomatoes thinly on a mandoline for use in sandwiches. Having recently enjoyed so many BLT sandwiches including more than a few fried green tomato BLTs , I was just itching to crack open one of those jars and use the pickled green tomatoes in a BLT sandwich along with some fresh, ripe red tomatoes. The pickled green tomatoes are a lot like your regular cucumber pickles but they are a bit crispier and more naturally on the tangy side. Many sandwiches would benefit from these tasty pickles especially a nice BLT where they complement the fresh juicy ripe tomatoes perfectly!

That looks so delicious! I'd never thought of pickled tomatoes before, but if they're 1/16 as good as fried green tomatoes then I'm in!!
Yum!! A tangy touch to a classic sandwich. Besides I do like eating a BLT with a pickle spear, so why should this be any different right? 😀
I've never even heard of pickled anything other than cucumbers or beets… tomatoes sound interesting and delicious! I know what I'm going to be using some of my tomatoes for this summer now. Thanks for the idea and for stopping by!
I've never had pickled green tomatoes, but a pickled green tomato BLT sounds delicious!
this looks great. i made a fried green tomato BLT this summer as well – it rocked!
Mmmm! That looks really good! I love the twist on the tomato.
I love that I've found another male food blogger! I'm already in love with your posts and recipes 🙂

The pickled tomatoes are awesome!
This summer I am definitely going to pickle some green tomatoes.
It looks like a good, filling sandwich!
I haven't had pickled tomatoes in such a long time and now I'm craving them!! Also I have to tell you, I absolutely love your blog and on a daily basis wish someone like you cooked for me.
These look delicious and something challenging to me in preparing it.
All I have to say is that I hope there's going to be some kind of green tomato grilled cheese in your future. I always love your grilled cheese sandwiches.
Classic with a twist!
A nice twist to my very favorite sandwich.
And just when I thought a BLT couldn't get better…
I thought BLT is BLT and you can modify it in any way but now I can see you've made it even better. Gotta try it with green tomato.
Thanks for sharing. Great post. I love experimenting with recipes too. And I love eating 😉 Food is the only pleasure that you're never too tired for.
Love the pickled tomato idea! So cool!
This looks scrumptious Kevin. BLT's are one of my favorite sandwiches..I love your twist!
It would taste great even without the bacon! Looks delicious either way!
Get read for the weather. I can taste from the look !
