BLT Dip
Imagine a party favorite that tastes just like your favorite sandwich—but in creamy, dippable form. This creamy Blt Dip brings bacon, lettuce, and tomato together in every scoop. No-bake appetizer that disappears fast.
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon cooked until crisp and chopped
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup Romaine lettuce finely chopped and well-drained
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions chopped
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Fry slices until deeply crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then chop.
- In a medium bowl, stir together sour cream, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper until smooth.
- Gently add chopped bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and half the chives. Stir just enough to distribute so you still see green and red pops.
- Give it a spoonful. Add a pinch more salt, lemon, or paprika if you like. Remember, the tomatoes bring their own sweetness.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. Cooling helps flavors blend and gives the dip its full creamy texture.
- Before guests arrive, stir lightly and sprinkle reserved bacon bits and chives on top. Arrange with sturdy chips, pita chips, or veggie dippers.
- Scoop, savor, and watch your guests dig in—this Blt Dip vanishes fast.
Notes
• Pat lettuce and tomatoes dry on paper towels to avoid a watery dip. • For extra crunch, stir in toasted pepitas or sunflower seeds. • Let the dip sit in the fridge for at least 20 minutes for optimal flavor. • Make-ahead tip: Prep the creamy base and chop toppings a day ahead, then combine just before guests arrive for peak freshness.
