7 Layer Mexican Dip
Keep your resolutions in check with a healthy party dip! This 7 Layer Mexican Dip is a lighter version of everyone’s favorite party food that’s great for every occasion!
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. And if there’s a bowl of Spinach Dip nearby, I’m going in with a shovel.
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
- Layer – In a deep bowl or dish, layer the hummus, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
- Flavor – Top the dip with cheese, olives, tomatoes, cilantro and season with a sprinkle of taco seasoning.
- Chill – Chill the dip for 1 hour before serving.
Serve with homemade tortilla chips or crackers for dipping.
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.
