BLT Dip Recipe

This EASY BLT Dip starts with a smooth, creamy base made from cream cheese, sour cream, and Ranch seasoning. Served cold and layered with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and shredded cheese, this dip delivers all the classic BLT flavors in an easy, shareable form.

For anyone who craves a traditional BLT but isn’t a fan of mayonnaise, this recipe is an ideal solution. The cream cheese and sour cream mixture provides plenty of richness and tang without relying on mayo, while still pairing perfectly with the savory bacon and fresh vegetables.

That said, this dip is also very adaptable. For those who enjoy mayonnaise, it can easily be mixed into the base for an even creamier texture. Additional ingredients like diced avocado, chives, or green onions can be added to customize the flavor and add extra freshness.

This BLT Dip is especially convenient for entertaining because it can be prepared ahead of time. The creamy base can be mixed, covered, and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. Prepping in advance helps save time and keeps things stress-free when guests arrive.

For best results, the toppings should be prepared separately. Tomatoes can be diced, lettuce and cheese shredded, and bacon cooked and crumbled the day before serving. Storing each ingredient in separate bags or containers keeps everything fresh, and the dip can be assembled just before serving for the best texture.

There are also several easy substitutions for sour cream, depending on preference or dietary needs. Mayonnaise can be used on its own or combined with sour cream for balance. Plain Greek yogurt works well as a lighter option, and a simple mix of evaporated milk with vinegar or lemon juice can be used as a quick homemade alternative.
