One of our favorite things to eat on the hot summer days growing up was a classic BLT. The juicy, flavorful tomatoes, crispy bacon, and refreshing lettuce, that’s all perfectly accented with tangy, scrumptious mayo? It’s absolutely the perfect combination if you ask us.
Well, we got a craving for a classic BLT the other day, but we decided to switch things up a little… we wanted to see if we could recreate all those delectable flavors in a creamy, satisfying dip — one that would be perfect for a game day snack without the hassle of making a whole bunch of sandwiches. Turns out, the dip was a smashing success! With the same motley crew of ingredients, this dip has everything you’d want in a BLT and a dip — we guarantee that you’ll love it as much as we do!
