Ingredients in BLT Dip
If you’re looking for the perfect appetizer, this BLT Dip recipe will have everyone coming back for more!
- Creamy Base – Cream cheese is the base of this recipe, light cream cheese can be used. Mayo and sour cream make it smooth and easy to scoop.
- Seasonings & Flavors – A bit of garlic powder and smoked paprika flavor this dip. Sharp cheddar and green onion (or swap ½ teaspoon of onion powder) add a boost of flavor.
- Crispy Bacon – Pre-bake bacon in the oven and crumble it or save time with real bacon bits. If using real bacon bits, fry or microwave them until crisp and let them cool.
- Lettuce – Iceberg or romaine lettuce add a fresh crunch.
- Tomatoes – Any ripe and juicy variety of tomatoes works here. I most often use either cherry tomatoes or Roma tomatoes.
Variations – Turn it into a ranch BLT dip by adding ranch dressing mix, or try Italian dressing mix and fresh herbs if you have them on hand.

The recipe says 12 servings, how many cups does this make?
Hi Marilyn, a serving is about ⅓ of a cup. Enjoy!
This recipe is a winner! Sooo good. I let the cream cheese come to room temp so I didn’t have to use a mixer. Everyone enjoyed it.
I am so happy to hear this recipe was a hit Ami!
I’d like to make this to bring to the office. Do I put all the shredded (3 cups) on top?
Hi Kruptyna, we actually mix it all into the dip itself and you can either set some aside or grate a little extra to sprinkle on top for garnish. Enjoy!
I think Kruptyna was referring to the lettuce, not the cheese. I have the same question about the lettuce. Three cups seem to be a lot and the pictures don’t seem to have that much lettuce.
Hi Terri, the recipe calls for 3 cups but you can use however much you prefer! We would love to hear how it turns out for you!
number 4 in the instructions say to top with lettuce. so we are to put 3 cups of lettuce on top of the mixture? the photo does not reflect that amount of.lettuce on the mixture.
You can put however much lettuce you prefer, Donna!
