The BLT sandwich is an absolute classic. A juicy tomato slice, crisp lettuce, and salty bacon, what’s not to like? This beloved combination of flavors doesn’t get enough air-time in my opinion, so when I came across the idea for a BLT Dip, I was instantly sold! Pick whatever dipping vessel your heart desires and dig into this creamy masterpiece. It’s going to be love at first bite!
The base of this dip is a mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, and ranch seasoning! Plenty tangy with just the right amount of herb-y flavor from the ranch, it’s already setting the dish up for success. Spread the cream mixture into your serving dish and get started on the toppings: shredded romaine lettuce, halved cherries tomatoes, and (of course!) crumbled bacon. You’ll want to make sure to cook the bacon ahead of time to allow time for it to fully cool. Sprinkle the “BLT” over the creamy mixture along with some sliced green onions and your dip is ready to go!
There’s really no wrong time for this dip: afternoon snack, gamedays, dinner appetizer, a dish for your backyard BBQ– the appropriate occasions are endless. Serve it up with crackers, bread, pita, or even veggies… if you’re feeling extra healthy. We won’t judge if you sneak some by the spoonful! Give this easy recipe a try and we’re sure you’ll love it as much as we do!
