Another great recipe. I sauted the leeks then combined the remaining ingredients. I was a little shy on the dressing so I added a little ff 1/2 & 1/2. This is very tasty and come be used on many things.

I needed a quick and delicious recipe for a lunch on sunday, figured we would try it tonight to be sure and oh my god, I had a hard time not eating it all in one serving !! I used real back chopped in tiny pieces, we actually threw in the leek a couple minutes with the bacon cooking... I LOVE this recipe ! Thanks so much for sharing !!!

Very tasty! I, too, did not use the sodium-free stuff...and I used buttermilk ranch and wild leeks, too. However, I used a can of "real bacon pieces" and found out that even the 3 oz can over-powered the dip. Don't get me wrong...if you prefer more of a "bacon" taste....go for it. But, I ended up using a cup of chopped leeks and still thought 3 oz of the bacon was a little much. Next time I will use a half a can of bacon. Thanks for the yummy recipe!
