Tips for the Best BLT Dip
- Drain your tomatoes: Chopped tomatoes release liquid as they sit. For a thicker dip, place the chopped tomatoes on a paper towel for a few minutes to remove excess moisture before folding them in.
- Cook bacon extra crisp: Crispy bacon holds up better in the dip and won’t turn soggy.
- Make it ahead: This dip can be made up to a day in advance — just give it a good stir before serving.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make BLT dip ahead of time? Yes! This dip actually tastes better after chilling, so it’s ideal for making a few hours or even a day before your event.
Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon? Absolutely. Turkey bacon works well as a lighter substitute — just be sure to cook it until crisp.
How long does BLT dip last in the fridge? Stored in an airtight container, this dip stays fresh for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Can I add lettuce to make it more like a real BLT? Some versions include shredded lettuce, but it tends to wilt quickly. For best results, stick to bacon, tomato, and cheese, and add a lettuce garnish right before serving if desired.
