This BLT Dip recipe is about to become your new go-to appetizer for everything<\/em>. Get ready for crispy bacon, tangy tomatoes, and creamy deliciousness all piled into one glorious bowl.<\/p>\n I first had my first BLT dip experience at a Christmas party a few months ago and stood by that BLT dip bowl all night long, and by the end of the night, my husband and I had eaten the entire bowl! \ud83d\ude2f<\/p>\n After this first BLT dip encounter, I vowed to improve on this already amazing dip with some elevated, healthy touches so that when you binge eat the entire bowl, you won’t feel too guilty about it<\/strong>! \ud83e\udd17<\/p>\n I start by using clean ingredients such as seed oil free mayo (Chosen foods is my go-to and a good price at Costco), roma tomatoes for concentrated tomato flavor in every bite, and celtic sea salt to add a touch of salt AND minerals. Side note, Celtic sea salt is my go-to salt for everything as it’s loaded in magnesium and other trace minerals. I don’t serve ANY dish without celtic sea salt as my final ingredient as a finishing salt. In this recipe I add the celtic sea salt to the tomatoes before putting them in the dip, just like you would add salt to your tomatoes on a classic BLT.<\/p>\n Lastly, adding freshly chopped basil is the aromatic touch that every BLT deserves, which helps elevate this dip above other BLT dip recipes. In my opinion, it’s the small touches like high-quality ingredients and the aromatic burst of fresh herbs, that set this dip apart.<\/p>\n Okay, friends, let’s talk BLT Dip. This isn’t your grandma’s soggy, sad excuse for a party appetizer. We’re talking crispy bacon, tangy tomatoes, creamy deliciousness, all piled into one glorious bowl. Think game day, backyard BBQs, or even just a Tuesday night snack attack (no judgment here, especially because it’s made with high quality ingredients you won’t feel guilt about!). It\u2019s seriously easy, bursting with flavor, and customizable to fit your dietary needs whether you’re a low carb, keto kinda person or just want to eat this dip piled up on a classic potato chip. Plus, it\u2019s always a crowd-pleaser!<\/p>\n You can skip to the recipe card below if you are ready to get started!<\/em><\/p>\n Q: Can I freeze BLT dip?<\/strong><\/p>\n A: Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture of the mayonnaise and sour cream, making the dip watery. It\u2019s best enjoyed fresh.<\/p>\n Q: How long does BLT dip last in the refrigerator?<\/strong><\/p>\n A: Properly stored in an airtight container, BLT dip will last for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n Q: Can I use different types of tomatoes?<\/strong><\/p>\n A: Absolutely! Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes (halved), or even sun-dried tomatoes (rehydrated and chopped) can be used in this recipe.<\/p>\n Q: What if I don’t have fresh basil?<\/strong><\/p>\n A: You can substitute with green onions, chives or even a sprinkle of dried dill.<\/p>\n Okay, let’s make this dip! But don’t say I didn’t warn you that it’s highly addictive and you may just eat the entire bowl in one sitting!!

<\/div>\n\n
Cook Your Bacon \ud83e\udd53: Let’s get that bacon sizzling! Nobody likes floppy bacon. I cook bacon on a wire baking rack on top of a 9X13 pan lined in parchment paper to capture the grease in the oven at 375 degrees Farenheight for 2-25 minutes until the fat has rendered off. You can alternately cook the bacon in a skillet. Once it’s cooled slightly, crumble most of it, reserving a few glorious pieces for garnish.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
Combine the Mayo and Sour Cream \ud83e\udd63: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayo and sour cream (or Greek yogurt). Get it nice and smooth, like you’re creating the base for a masterpiece.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
Tomatoes need a touch of Salt \ud83c\udf45\ud83e\uddc2: Just like I salt the tomatoes on my BLT, I add the salt to the chopped tomatoes before adding them into the dip.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
Stir it Together :\ud83e\udd6a Add the crumbled bacon (remember, reserve some!), diced tomato, and basil to the creamy mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper. Don’t be afraid to taste and adjust!<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
Chill Out \ud83e\udd76: This is the hardest part. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and become even more amazing. If you’re short on time, you can skip this step, but trust me, it’s worth the wait.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
Serve and Conquer \ud83d\udcaa: Transfer the BLT dip to a pretty serving bowl. Garnish with the reserved bacon crumbles and maybe a few extra chives for good measure. Now, for the dippers\u2026<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
