BLT Dip Stuffed Cucumber Rounds

BLT Dip Stuffed Cucumber Rounds

These BLT Dip Stuffed Cucumber Rounds are the appetizer that stops the room. Fresh cucumber slices hollowed into little cups and filled with a creamy, bacon-and-tomato-packed BLT dip — they’re cool, crunchy, and completely addictive. No baking, no fuss, and they look like you spent way more time than you did. Perfect for a fall party spread, game day snack board, or any gathering where you want to impress without the stress.

The filling is made with Carmie's BLT Dip Mix — a classic BLT combo packed with bacon, tomato, cheddar, and a hint of garlic. Just mix with sour cream and mayo and you’ve got a dip so good people will be asking for the recipe all night.

Ingredients

  • 1 packet Carmie's BLT Dip Mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2–3 large English cucumbers
  • Optional garnishes: crumbled cooked bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, fresh chives or parsley, a pinch of smoked paprika

Instructions

Step 1: Make the BLT Dip

Stir the BLT Dip Mix into the sour cream and mayonnaise until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes — or up to 24 hours ahead. The flavors deepen beautifully as it chills, making this a perfect make-ahead appetizer.

Step 2: Prep the Cucumber Cups

Slice the cucumbers into 1-inch rounds. Using a small melon baller or a teaspoon, scoop out a shallow well in the center of each round — deep enough to hold the filling but not all the way through. Pat dry with a paper towel so the filling stays put. Arrange on a serving platter.

Step 3: Fill and Garnish

Spoon or pipe the BLT dip generously into each cucumber cup. Garnish with a small piece of crumbled bacon, a halved cherry tomato, and a sprinkle of fresh chives for a picture-perfect finish. A tiny pinch of smoked paprika on top adds a beautiful color pop.

Step 4: Serve

Arrange on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. These hold up beautifully and look stunning on any spread.

Build a BLT Appetizer Board

Make a double batch of the BLT dip and serve the stuffed cucumber rounds alongside a bowl of extra dip with potato chips, pretzels, and toasted baguette slices. Add a cluster of cherry tomatoes and some crispy bacon strips for a full BLT-themed appetizer board that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Tips & Variations

  • Make ahead — prep the dip up to 24 hours in advance and fill the cucumbers up to 2 hours before serving for the freshest result.
  • Lighter version — substitute 2 cups plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream and mayo for a lighter but equally creamy filling.
  • Cheeseball option — mix the BLT Dip Mix into 16 oz softened cream cheese, roll into a ball, coat in crumbled bacon, and serve alongside the cucumber rounds for a stunning centerpiece.
  • Seasoning twist — use the BLT mix as a seasoning — stir into mac & cheese, sprinkle over baked potatoes, or mix into burger patties for a BLT-flavored bite.
  • Swap the vessel — use endive leaves, mini bell pepper halves, or toasted baguette rounds instead of cucumbers for a different presentation.
