Hello Friends!

How is the new year going? So far so good for me. Today I had some fun on a Target run and I went to my (outdoor) zumba class. 

Today’s recipe is an easy one when you are looking for a tasty appetizer to put together quickly. I love simple recipes like this one because I can use ingredients I already have on hand and the amount of clean up is minimal.

This is a wonderful appetizer recipe that you can serve all year round. It is also great for game nights and parties. 

I like to serve this recipe in a clear vessel so that you can see the layers! But you can use any kind of serving dish that is at least 1 ½" tall. 

This dip we are making today requires a few ingredients.

Ingredients for 7 Layer Dip

Beans – You will want to use your favorite canned variety of refried beans for this recipe. Honestly, I use whatever brand is on sale at the time.  

Avocados – probably my favorite vegetable of all time. Hass avocados work well, but use whatever you can find, just make sure they are ripe when you make the recipe. 

Tomatoes– I’m partial to tomatoes on the vine or Roma tomatoes, but you can use whatever tomatoes you like, even cherry tomatoes cut in half will work.

Variations on this recipe:

You can make this a 5 layer bean dip and omit the tomatoes and olives.
