Blteenies

• Spread
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise (no substitutes)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Italian salad dressing mix (the powdered stuff)
• Bread and Toppings
• 15 slices cocktail bread (I like sourdough)
• 3 cups shredded lettuce
• 3 small tomatoes, sliced (you want them to be slightly smaller than the bread)
• 3 ounces bacon bits (I like hormel because they seem to be darker in color and shredded finer. Oscar mayer doesnt look as)

1. Mix together the mayo, sour cream, and dressing mix. This is going to "glue" all of the layers of the sandwich together.
2. Make an open-faced mini sandwich with the rest of the ingredients: First spread the bread with mayonnaise mixture to the edges (be generous-I use just less than a tablespoon.).
3. Add some shredded lettuce, covering the spread.
4. Put a small dollop of the mayo mixture in the center of the lettuce, then add a slice of tomato.
5. Add a chocolate-chip sized amount of the mayo mixture, followed by a nice sprinkling of the bacon.
6. Voila, you're done. Put on a pretty platter and serve.
