Party Dip with Three Layers
December 28, 2015 1 Comment
I was first introduced to "Seven Layer Dip" in 1995 and I immediately fell in love.

With the DIP! Not anyone near the dip. or a dippy person of the male persuasion. sheesh.
I had made friends with a Wisconsinite who made this dish for a party. Wow! It had salsa, guacamole, cheese, more cheese, beans…. I couldn’t believe how yummy it was and I found myself standing next to it and shooing everyone else away.
Since it is 2016, I no longer need seven layers. I don’t need dip either but I still love it.
To make this dip healthier than the usual, I used much less cheese and dropped the sour cream entirely. I found it was flavorful without any sour cream, though purists will have an issue with this choice.
If you are keeping it fresh for a party, squeeze some lemon juice on the avocado so it doesn’t turn brown. For a spicier version, add some sliced jalapenos to the top – yum!
Because I was feeling super lazy, I used my microwave to heat it up. The whole thing took around 10 minutes and I believe it was gone in five. ahh well.
Use this dip as a topping for rice or use chips, veggies, or pita wedges to scoop it up.
