BLT Dip
If you’re a fan of easy dips like my [buffalo chicken dip], [jalapeño popper dip], or [ranch veggie dip], you’re going to love this one. It comes together in just a few minutes and is perfect for scooping up with crackers, chips, or veggies. It’s one of those no-fuss recipes you’ll find yourself making again and again for potlucks, holidays, and family get-togethers.
This BLT dip starts with a creamy base of mayo, sour cream, and cream cheese, then gets loaded with cheddar cheese and plenty of crumbled bacon. Right before serving, it’s topped with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes for that signature BLT finish. It’s fresh, salty, creamy, and just a little addictive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make BLT dip ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare the dip up to 2 days in advance. Just leave off the lettuce and tomato until right before serving.
What should I serve with BLT dip?
It’s delicious with buttery crackers, toasted baguette slices, tortilla chips, or veggie sticks like celery and cucumber.
Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon?
Absolutely. Turkey bacon works great as a lighter option — just make sure it’s cooked crispy for the best texture.
Is this dip served warm or cold?
BLT dip is best served cold or at room temperature. You don’t want the lettuce and tomato to wilt from heat.
