Skinny BLT Ranch Dip
Loaded with the classic toppings of bacon, lettuce, and tomato, this Skinny BLT Ranch Dip is made with a Greek yogurt base and swirled with hints of ranch dressing. It’s zesty, creamy, and the perfect dip to some chips or crackers!
We’re nearing the end of July and I feel like summer just started!
Who’s with me? We still have the month of August to look forward to, so that makes me feel just a little bit better. In between the business of the season, I’ve been trying to soak up as many of the summer flavors as I can.
After I made this BLT Ranch Pasta Salad (one of my most popular recipes to date), I couldn’t get enough of the flavors. The hubster and I eat BLT’s frequently in the summer, so the pasta was perfect for us. And since I’m all about fresh tomatoes, I try to find any excuse I can to load up on them every week.
And that’s where this Skinny BLT Ranch Dip comes into play. Loaded with the classic toppings of bacon, lettuce, and tomato, this healthier dip is made with a Greek yogurt base and swirled with hints of ranch dressing.
It’s zesty, creamy, and the perfect dip to complement some chips or crackers.
This Skinny BLT Ranch Dip was inspired by my BLT salad and is modified only slightly from the dressing that I used.
Instead of using a combination of mayonnaise and Greek yogurt, I opted to use just Greek yogurt in this dip. It makes for a healthier base, packed with protein.
And when you add in the tomatoes and lettuce, it’s almost like a veggie dip, right? Until the bacon comes in…but let’s consider the bacon a health food for now, k?
If you’re looking for a dip that screams summer, than this it it!
The creamy texture, crunchy bacon, and fresh tomatoes and lettuce make a flavorful dip that’s full of BLT yummy-ness. This is the ultimate, healthier snack that’s perfect for your next get-together or just to keep all to yourself!

Any dip with ranch in it will grab me. And this one has fresh veggies in it! Those nut thins are actually delicious, BTW. I love them!
I’m addicted to Nut Thins, especially when a BLT dip is involved!
Gayle, I love this dip!!! what a great idea and love that you used greek yogurt! I love those Blue Diamond Artisan Nut Thins!!!! yum!
Thanks, Alice! The Greek Yogurt makes it healthier but still has tons of flavor!
This dip looks so delicious! BLT’s are my favorite in the summer, so this dip is right up my alley. I love those nut thins! I discovered them a few weeks back and have been hooked ever since. I’ve struggled to find a good gluten-free cracker and those really hit the spot. I love how thin they are so they don’t overpower whatever your dipping them in! I can’t wait to try this dip 🙂
Thank you, Keri! Aren’t those nut thins delicious? I think I devoured the whole box in one day, no joke! I love how healthy they are, too!
Aren’t those crackers the best?! They didn’t last long in our house. 🙂
Your dip looks delicious, and I love that you’ve made it a “skinny” version. Extra protein with the crackers is probably SUCH a filling snack! Pinned!
Thanks for the kind words, Blair! I totally agree with you, extra protein with healthier crackers is perfect!
This looks incredible Gayle. I haven’t eaten meat in 4 weeks, but I am so craving bacon now. Such a colourful dip.
Thanks, Dannii! This dip definitely hits the spot!
This dip is right up my alley Gayle! I could see myself devouring this in minutes! I love anything with ranch especially as a dip!
Thanks, Kelley! I think I did devour this dip in about 10 minutes! 🙂
I was just thinking about how it’s almost August already and I don’t know where the summer has gone. I like how you’re thinking positive when you say we still have August to look forward to! This dip looks delicious with the Greek yogurt (one of my favorite ingredients and snacks) and BLT toppings! I’m excited to try those nut thins now too!
Even though August definitely feels like the summer is winding down, I’m trying not to think about that! 🙂 Thanks for the kind words, Kristine!
Oh I wish Summer had just started. Please keep on making these summary dishes and let’s keep the momentum going 🙂
I plan on it, Emanuele! 🙂
I definitely know what you mean Gayle, I can’t believe July is almost over already! This year has gone by so fast. Love the sound of this dip. BLT flavours are the best! What a great recipe!
Thanks, Harriet!
I love this ‘skinny’ dip, Gayle! We’ve been traveling for a few days and as can happen, have enjoyed some rich meals – so this dip will be the perfect antidote this weekend!
Thanks, Annie! It’s so nice to be able to snack a little healthier once in a while!
I really need to go out and buy some of those thins! This dip looks incredible, and how awesome that it’s skinny!
Thanks, Sam! I think you’ll love the nut thins, they’re SO good!
Love the fresh veggies in this dip!
Thanks, Medha!
This dip sounds (and looks) amazing Gayle! So easy to make! These crackers are awesome! Need to get them again! Pinning!

So, I finally ate BEFORE I visited your blog. ON PURPOSE. Yea, didn’t work because I am still leaving here hungry! I love this dip, Gayle! Love that you skinny-ed it up with Greek Yogurt, because that TOTALLY cancels out all that delicious bacon! 🙂 This dip simply looks perfect. Loaded to the gills with yummies and BELONGS in my belly!! <3 Pinned!
P.s. I'm with you on summer going by WAY.Too.Fast!
Thanks, Cheyanne! Every once in a while it’s good to snack on a healthier dip, even if there’s bacon in it! 🙂
Love this dip! I’m with you on the tomato thing! I’ve had more than my share this summer. And what better way to use them than in a BLT ranch dip.
Thanks, Jen! I just can’t get enough of fresh tomatoes!
I feel the same way about summer – so glad we still have August and I can’t get enough of all the fresh flavors. Love this dip! It sounds so yummy and would go perfectly with the nut thins. Yay for skinny too, such a great idea to use Greek yogurt!
Thanks, Kelly! This skinny dip is definitely the perfect snack to keep summer going in full force!

BLT ranch dip is a great idea, and I love that you made it skinny with Greek yogurt! This looks delicious!
Thanks, Stacey! You would never guess that it’s on the lighter side!
OMG Those blue diamond crackers, I eat them all the time, so addicting, and now that you created this amazing BACON ranch dip I am sure I won’t be able to stop!
Thanks, Katalina! This dip is definitely addicting!
If there’s bacon I’m soooo in. Plus ranch is kind of what dreams are made of.
I definitely agree, Nicole! Bacon and ranch make the best combo ever!
Uh, those are my favorite crackers EVER! And that dip… looks so amazing! You really can’t go wrong with bacon and ranch. I’m glad it’s “skinny” because I’d definitely be stuffing my face. 😉
Thanks, Jess! I love these crackers too…way too easy to eat the entire box, especially when paired with this dip! 🙂
Not kidding, this dip is pure Genius Gayle.

This blt dip looks so summery and colourful!! Love the flavours.. and the crackers are amazing.. Can’t wait to try this!! 🙂
Thanks for the kind words, Arpita!
Any dip with the words SKINNY and BACON in the same sentence is automatically just a WIN in my book. You seriously loaded this gorgeous dip with all my favorite things, Gayle! Those crackers look like the perfect little dippers!
Skinny and bacon definitely belong together! Thanks, Sarah!
You had me at “Skinny BLT” LOL! I totally found a great excuse to eat bacon: IT’S HEALTHY 🙂 I love this dish so much, that it isn’t even funny. Greek yogurt is such a great replacement for sour cream or mayo; it adds perfect tanginess, while still keeping things “skinny”! I always leave your site, wanting to make all of your recipes 😉 Thanks for sharing, Gayle! 😀
Thanks, Kennedy! I love sneaking greek yogurt into just about anything, especially when bacon is involved!
Yessss, what has happened to summer!? I feel like I should be Christmas baking almost! Lol. This is such a great summer dip!
Haha I know! I’m ready to break out everything pumpkins and apples! 🙂
I have also been eating a lot of BLTs lately. It’s my breakfast of choice!
This dip sounds amazing! Definitely would be one of my favorite things!
Thanks, Cathleen! Sounds like this dip would be perfect for you!
I’ve been going crazy loading up on tomatoes too. This BLT dip is a perfect dish to use them! And bacon makes everything better!
Bacon and tomatoes are the way to go, Rachelle!
love these crackers! and I’m always down for any kind of dip! this looks wonderful Gayle! 😉
Thanks, Michele!
This dip looks soooo insanely good, Gayle! Plus it’s skinny, so I eat more. Right? 😉
Thanks, Danielle! I pretty much devoured the entire bowl by myself!
Oh my goodness! I am BLT obsessed lately & this looks awesome! Pinned!
Sounds like you would love this dip, Amber! Thanks for the pin!
This looks positively scrumptious!
Thanks for the kind words and for stopping by, Megan!
