the best vegan 7 layer dip | hot for food

vegan sour cream

🥗Healthier: cashew cream

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Cashew cream adds creaminess while being dairy-free.

refried beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: pinto beans

Black beans are nutritious and flavorful.

guacamole

🥗Healthier: mashed avocado

💰Cheaper: avocado dip

Mashed avocado is simpler and just as creamy.

salsa

🥗Healthier: fresh pico de gallo

💰Cheaper: store-bought salsa

Fresh pico de gallo enhances flavor without additives.

Take refried beans out of the can or tetra pak and place them in a bowl.

Mash the refried beans to make them look homemade.

Saute onion in a little bit of oil with chipotle chili powder, salt, and pepper until softened.

Add the sautéed onion mixture into the mashed refried beans and mix well.

Prepare guacamole by scooping 2 avocados into a bowl or food processor.

Add 2 limes, 1-2 garlic cloves, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the avocados.

Blend until smooth, ensuring there are no chunks.

Optionally, add chopped cilantro to the guacamole and mix gently to avoid pulverizing it.

Dice a couple of yellow peppers and a couple of tomatoes for layering.

Assemble the dip by layering the refried beans, guacamole, diced yellow peppers, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, chopped green onions, and finally dolloping the vegan sour cream on top.

Chill the assembled dip in the fridge before serving.
