Bacon and Avocado Sandwich with Pickled Onions

Try this satisfying spin on a B.L.T. Pickled red onions—a classic Mexican condiment—should be in everyone’s fridge. They perk up any type of sandwich, as well as tacos, salads, and humble beans and rice. And they couldn’t be easier to make.

How to make tomato heart

The oblong shape of grape tomatoes works best for making hearts. Choose two tomatoes that are roughly the same size and shape. Cut away about ¼ of each tomato, at a 45° angle.
Arrange the two bigger parts of the tomatoes into a heart shape and stick together with a toothpick.
Voila! Instant love.
