a 7 layer dip .
1/3 cup kraft's fat free mayo (80cal)
1/4 yellow bell pepper (25cal)
1/4 red bell pepper (25cal)
1/3 cup 1% sour cream (53.33cal)
1/3 cup home made guacamole (161cal)
1/2 cup mild salsa (40cal)
5 organic cherry tomatoes (20cal)
1 jalepeno pepper (4cal)
cilantro
green onions
seasoning salt
Total: 408.33 calories
I would say serves about 3 - 4 people depending.
So I'm using a clear plastic container that holds about 2.25 cups. I like to see the layers.
Also, I'm not layering from bottom to top, instead I'm layering it sideways so you see all 7 layers at the same time .. looks pretty.
Tilt it sideways, and start with the mayo .. spread it nice and smooth with a butter knife, then sprinkle the entire side with seasoning salt.
Add the chopped up red and yellow pepper for it's second layer. Pat it down but not so that it's mixed with the mayo, you want separate layers.
Next, load on the sour cream, again .. smooth it nicely with butter knife.
The home made guacamole (mmm soo good, look at the recipe before this) .. scoop that on and even it out.
Fifth layer is salsa, scoop it on then add the chopped up tomatoes (6th layer), smooth it out .. it'll probably sink into the salsa a bit but not to worry, it tastes great !
The last layer is the jalepeno pepper, cilantro and green onion chopped up. I took out the seeds of the pepper but that's optional.
Now the container should be mostly filled, tilt it the other way to even out the weight shift.
It should look pretty good, put it down on a flat surface and see which layer might need more stuff, then just add it on neatly with a spoon.
Sprinkle the top of the mayo with seasoning salt, before it was only on the inner surface.
Chill in fridge until cold .. then serve with chips or veggies.
I like cucumber slices, carrots and cauliflower.
When eating it, I noticed the cilantro green onion layer was hard to scoop, so dip into one of the sauces first and the leaves will stick on .. lol
This was my first attempt in making this and I didn't follow any recipes, it was an experiment.
Turned out great though =)
I wonder how it'd be with wasabi mayo or taco seasoning flavored mayo .. I skipped the cheese because I didn't have any, also saves calories .
