7 Layer Dip

7 Layer dip is a family favorite for football games, so I made a big bowl for us to snack on during the Ohio State Game. It may not look pretty, but it tastes great! There are a million ways to make 7 layers, but this is my favorite...

7 Layer Dip

1 brick of lowfat cream cheese, softened

2 c. thick salsa

1 28 oz. can vegetarian refried beans

2 c. guacamole

1 sack of shredded iceberg lettuce

1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 c. light sour cream

1/2 c. salsa or pico de gallo

Optional: Chopped jalapenos, olives, or red onion

In a bowl, mix cream cheese and salsa. Spread into the bottom of a clear, deep dish.

Spread beans over cream cheese layer.

Make guacamole, spread over beans.

Top with lettuce, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and other toppings.

Serve with tortilla chips.

Guacamole:
4 haas avocados

2 lime, juiced

2 tsp. salt

3 garlic cloves

1 tsp. ground cumin

Chop the garlic and sprinkle with salt, paste it together. Dice the avocado, add to a bowl, squeeze lime juice over, add garlic paste and cumin, stir and cover with plastic to keep from browning.
