Ingredients You’ll Need
Our BLT Dip features simple yet flavorful ingredients:

- Lettuce - Fresh, crisp lettuce provides a refreshing crunch.
- Tomatoes - Juicy tomatoes add sweetness and acidity to balance the flavors.
- Green Onion - Adds earthiness and additional color to the dip.
- Mayonnaise - Creamy mayonnaise serves as the base of the dressing, adding richness.
- Sour Cream - Tangy sour cream adds a creamy texture and slight tanginess.
- Seasonings - A blend of seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper enhances the flavor of the dip.
How To Make BLT Dip
- Cook the Bacon . In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
- Prepare the Base . In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Assemble the Dip . Layer the bottom of a serving dish with the prepared dip base. Top with chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, green onion, and crumbled bacon.
- Chill and Serve . Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips And Tricks
Here are some tips and tricks to help you make the perfect BLT dip:
- Use Quality Ingredients . Since BLT dip relies on simple ingredients, using high-quality bacon, fresh lettuce, and ripe tomatoes will enhance the flavor of the dip.
- Cook Bacon Crispy . Cook the bacon until it’s crispy to add a satisfying crunch to the dip and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Drain Excess Grease . After cooking the bacon, place it on paper towels to drain excess grease before chopping it into pieces. This helps prevent the dip from becoming overly greasy.
Variations
There are numerous ways to customize and create variations of BLT dip to suit different tastes and preferences. Here are some delicious variations to try:
- Avocado - Incorporate mashed avocado into the dip mixture to add creaminess and a hint of freshness. Simply mix mashed avocado with cream cheese, sour cream, or mayonnaise, then layer with bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes.
- Ranch - Add ranch seasoning mix or ranch dressing to the creamy base for a tangy twist on the classic BLT flavor. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives for extra flavor.
- Jalapeno - Spice up your dip by adding diced jalapenos or pickled jalapenos to the mixture. The heat from the jalapenos pairs well with the savory bacon and creamy base.
What To Serve With BLT Dip
BLT Dip pairs perfectly with a variety of dippable options:
- Tortilla Chips - Crunchy tortilla chips are perfect for scooping up the creamy dip.
- Crackers - Serve with an assortment of crackers for easy dipping.
- Vegetables - Offer a selection of fresh vegetables such as carrot sticks, celery, and bell pepper slices for a lighter option.
How Long Does It Last?
BLT Dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving any leftovers.
Can You Freeze It?
Yes, you can freeze BLT dip, but it’s best to do so before adding the lettuce and tomato, as these ingredients may become watery and lose their texture upon thawing. It should last up to 2-3 months when stored in a freezer-safe container.
When you’re ready to enjoy the dip, simply thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. Once thawed, stir well and add fresh lettuce and tomato before serving.
