Ingredients
Layers
- 2 cups canned refried beans (or vegetarian refried beans)
- 1 1/2 cups Easy Guacamole (or store-bought)
- 2 cups Fresh Tomato Salsa (or your favorite salsa)
- ⅓ cup chopped green onion (white and green parts)
- ⅓ cup sliced black olives
- ½ cup thinly sliced iceberg lettuce
- ½ cup sliced cherry tomatoes
Topping
- ¼ cup avocado mayonnaise (vegannaise, or sour cream)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
- Layer Refried Beans: Spread the refried beans evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to create the first layer of the dip.
- Add Guacamole: Spoon the guacamole over the refried beans, smoothing it out into an even second layer to cover the beans completely.
- Pour Salsa: Pour the fresh tomato salsa on top of the guacamole, spreading it evenly to form the third layer.
- Sprinkle Vegetables: Sprinkle an even layer of chopped green onion, sliced black olives, thinly sliced iceberg lettuce, and cherry tomato slices over the salsa layer.
- Prepare Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado mayonnaise (or vegannaise or sour cream) with lime juice until well combined.
- Drizzle Topping: Drizzle the avocado mayonnaise and lime juice mixture over the vegetable layer to finish the dip.
- Serve or Refrigerate: Serve the 7-layer dip immediately for best freshness or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days to let flavors meld.
Notes
- This dip can be made with vegetarian or vegan refried beans to keep it plant-based.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal taste and freshness.
- Use freshly sliced vegetables for the best texture and flavor.
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a spicy salsa variety.
- Great served with gluten-free chips or fresh vegetable sticks.
