Blt Dip
A creamy, no-bake Blt Dip that brings together crispy bacon, garden-fresh lettuce, and juicy tomato in a single, party-ready bowl.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened (full fat or Neufchâtel for fewer calories)
- 1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt Fage or Chobani—thick and tangy
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh, minced
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
- 1 cup Roma tomato finely diced (seeds removed to avoid watery dip)
- 1 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce patted dry
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onion for color and mild bite
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or chipotle powder for smoky warmth
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until creamy and well blended.
- Fold in half of the crumbled bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, and chives—gently stirring so the lettuce stays crisp.
- Transfer to a shallow serving dish, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle remaining bacon, tomatoes, and chives on top for a colorful garnish.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 15 minutes. Right before serving, drizzle a tiny bit of extra-virgin olive oil or a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with sturdy crackers, pita chips, or colorful veggie sticks.
Notes
If you need a dairy-free tweak, swap cream cheese for a vegan spread and yogurt for coconut-based yogurt. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
