One of my go to’s. Everyone loves this dip!
Omg! Second time I made this but it’s been a long time. We took a loaf of everything bagel bread and sliced it longways 4 times. Spread it with garlic spread and put under the broiler. AMAZING!! A little salty but I wowed our friends and that’s what it’s all about! Happy New Year!!!
Giving it a 4 due to ingredients list. It says head of lettuce, shredded. However, the lettuce is being hallowed out, so you need it whole.
We changed the sun-dried tomatoes to diced fresh tomatoes but let them sit on paper towel to drain for an hour and mixed them in right before serving. And of course increased the bacon. Turned out fantastic!
I think overall it was a good recipe. I made this to take on a family camping trip and everone liked it, but I changed things up by adding chopped tomatoes and used toasted bread to dip. (white and wheat
I really enjoyed this dip…i did not like the pita chips i used them the first time i made this…the second time we dipped celery,baby carrots cucumbers and little leafs of lettuce…it made it a little healthier…it is a heavy dip,but i dont understand the complaints on sodium and fat i have yet to see many dips without sodium and fat,pay attention to your portions and it shouldn’t be a big deal.MY FAMILY LOVED THIS!!!
What did you do with the shredded lettuce?
it is goog
I will have to admit — I doctored this one up a bit — all I did was add a packet of ranch dressing mix to the mixture. It added just the right blend of seasonings. I took this dip to an office party and served it with vegies, bagel chips and the crispy deli breadstix we can get at our supermarket. Fatty and full of sodium? ITS A PARTY DIP — not spa food. Lighten up people and get creative!
I made this for the Super Bowl the other night and it was a hit. I did use REAL bacon that I made and crumbled rather that the bacon bits, and I put alot of bacon in. I used the entire mall jar of sundried tomatoes and I refridgerated for 4 hours before serving,,,mine didnot turn pink at all. It tasted exactly like a BLT. Its also great for low carb dieters if you use the crisp lettuce pieces from the head of lettuce instead of bread of chips for dipping. I will make this again.
