Ranch Seasoning gives this cold BLT dip amazing flavor with little effort. If you don't want to make your own, you can save time by using a packet of ranch seasoning from the store.
Ingredients and substitutions
Cream cheese can be regular or low fat - any block cream cheese will work in this recipe.
Your cream cheese also needs to be room temperature, which makes it much easier to blend and incorporate with the other ingredients. I recommend setting it out on the kitchen counter 1-2 hours before you plan on preparing your dip.
Ranch seasoning can be homemade or store bought.
Cooked and crumbled bacon can be substituted with store bought bacon bits or pieces.

Where's the lettuce?
Where's the lettuce?BLT stands for bacon, lettuce, and tomato. So... where's the lettuce in this BLT dip?
I decided against adding lettuce, because lettuce wilts easily and didn't seem like a great addition to this heavy dip. Instead I used green onions, which add flavor, crispiness, and a hint of green.
I think you'll be pleased with this swap! This dip is creamy, crunchy, and filled with flavor.
