It’s summer now. So you should all be trying to add bacon, lettuce and tomato to breakfast, lunch and dinner (and snacks).
I can’t explain the scientific reason why BLT’s are so F’ing good in the summer time. Maybe because you can pluck the tomato right off the vine in your garden, or yank the lettuce right out of the ground. The bacon, I mean whatevs – bacon never tastes bad. Ever.
Last summer, this BLT Pasta Salad became a thing. This Summer, this BLT Dip will be a thing. It’s chock full of crispy bacon, crunchy lettuce and juicy tomatoes. And you could literally dip anything in it – veggies – chips – bread – or you could just smear it all over your face and take an occasional lick throughout the day.
The choice is yours. But this BLT Dip. You gotta.
