Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Stir the crumbled bacon into the dressing mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Transfer the creamy bacon dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the dressing chilled over your favorite salad greens or use as a dip for fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
