Ah, seven-layer dip! That’s a classic party favorite. It’s typically served cold as an appetizer with tortilla chips. The “seven layers” can vary slightly depending on the recipe, but here’s a standard breakdown:
Ingredients (Layers)
- Refried beans – Smoothly spread as the base layer.
- Guacamole – Fresh and creamy.
- Sour cream – Often mixed with taco seasoning for extra flavor.
- Salsa – Chunky or smooth, depending on preference.
- Shredded cheese – Cheddar, Mexican blend, or a mix.
- Diced tomatoes – Adds freshness.
- Sliced black olives / green onions / chopped cilantro – Garnish for color and flavor.
Assembly Tips
- Use a shallow, wide dish so each layer is visible.
- Spread each layer gently to avoid mixing flavors.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
Serving Suggestion
Serve with tortilla chips or cut-up veggies. It’s a crowd-pleaser at parties and game days!
