For a richer flavor, use freshly cooked and crumbled bacon instead of bacon bits. If you prefer a tangier dip, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley before serving for a pop of color. This dip can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. To make a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and salad dressing.

Jan 19, 2025I used Greek yogurt instead of salad dressing to cut down on the calories. It was still very good, but not quite as creamy.

Jan 4, 2025My leeks were a bit strong, so I soaked them in cold water for a few minutes before chopping. It helped mellow the flavor.

Jan 3, 2025I've made this with both store-bought and homemade bacon bits. Homemade is definitely better, but the store-bought ones work in a pinch.
