Some people are breakfast people, others live for a lavish dinner….me? I’m a die-hard snacker. I love chips and dips…..pretzels with mustard, salty or sweet…if there’s a nibble in the vicinity I’m going to dive in head first.

This, unfortunately, can be a detriment to my resolution to eat a little healthier. So, I try my best to find ways to make snacking a little healthier, like an ingredient replacement for one of my favorite recipes….like the party staple 7 Layer Mexican Dip. It’s layer upon layer of tasty deliciousness with every single swipe of your chip tasting completely different than the last. It’s a dip that never gets boring especially when you replace the refried beans with heart healthy hummus.

Ingredients

  • Hummus – We like to use our homemade hummus but your favorite store brand hummus makes this dip come together easily.
  • Sour Cream – Full fat or low fat works beautifully in this recipe.
  • Salsa – Again, homemade salsa is best but you can use your favorite brand.
  • Vegetables – We used sliced olives, tomatoes and cilantro. You can mix it up by adding chopped peppers, onions or jalapeños.
  • Cheese – Shredded cheddar or a Mexican blend is perfect for topping.

How to Make 7 Layer Mexican Dip

How To Store Leftovers

Transfer the dip to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The guacamole could oxidize and darken the longer it sits but it will still be good to eat.
