How to Make This BLT Dip Recipe

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

This dip can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge to allow all the flavors to mingle. We would recommend waiting to add the diced tomatoes and lettuce until right before you are ready to serve, though.

STEP ONE: Using either a stand mixer or a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise for 1½ to 2 minutes until smooth.

PRO TIP:

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t have any lumps in your cream cheese base.
