What goes into a BLT dip?
Creamy base- Cream cheese, Sour cream, and Mayonnaise
Flavor boosters- Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, and Ranch seasoning mix
Does it matter what type of lettuce I use?
No, the choice of lettuce is up to you. We used romaine lettuce in this best BLT dip recipe for its bright green color and mix of soft leaves and crunchy stems. But you can use any lettuce you like, such as iceberg, bibb, or red leaf.
Tips
- Use softened cream cheese- By leaving it out at room temperature to soften, it will make it easier to mix into the other ingredients thoroughly, and less likely to clump together.
- Seed the tomatoes- Remember to seed the tomatoes so you get the juicy outer layer of the tomato without the somewhat slimy innards where the seeds reside. This will decrease water in the dip and also give it a better texture.
- Cook bacon the easy way- If you place the bacon on a wire rack on a baking sheet, you can cook your bacon with less mess and work in the oven. After 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, the bacon will be crispy and ready for the dip. You can also cook it to perfection with this air fryer bacon recipe – and faster, too!
How to make it
- Create the creamy base. Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning, and crumbled bacon in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer.
- Prep the tomatoes. Seed and dice the tomatoes. Place them in the mixing bowl and mix gently to avoid making them mushy.
- Serve. Place the BLT dip in a serving bowl and top with lettuce bits and more bacon and tomatoes, if you wish.
What can I serve it with?
This easy BLT dip goes great with almost anything. Rice crackers, chips, flatbread, bagels, and bread can all be used to either dip or spread this delicious appetizer. You can also use vegetables for dipping, like celery, cucumber, or carrots.
How long will it keep?
This best BLT dip will last for about 2-3 days in the refrigerator if it is stored in an airtight container. After that, many of the ingredients begin to get soft and mushy, so it’s best served within a few days.
