Baby arugula IS superflous to a BLT, but iceberg lettuce is not. Comprising elements of both the crunchiness of the bacon and the sliminess of the tomato, iceberg lettuce provides a common ground between them, a flavorless space where the tastes of the bacon and tomato come together in the most vivid way, and a bridge between the two textures allowing each to best complement the other.
It also provides crucial layer of temperature. The room temperature tomato and the hot bacon need cold iceberg to maintain the ideal balance among the sandwich elements.
