I love 7 Layer Dip. The sad thing is, I can never eat it because it always has sour cream and cheese, two unfriendly items in my world. That is the reason I created this vegan friendly 7 layer dip and every time I have served it I have gotten numerous compliments. Nobody questions that it is not normal seven layer dip. I brought it to my in-law's for New Year's Eve and my father-in-law raved about it all night. My mother-in-law said it was the best platter dip she had ever had. My husband and I looked at each other and just smiled. We never told him that he wasn't eating "normal dip". He liked it, and that is all that mattered.
I normally make my own refried beans, sour cream, and cheese. However, all these things can be purchased. I linked the recipe I use for the sour cream from The Game Changers. However, I have used so many different cheddar cheese recipes that I don't know what one to link. I just open pinterest and search vegan cheddar cheese. Or you can just buy some. Or leave out the cheese and add some grilled corn. That is a really tasty additive as well. Or add the corn anyway and have 8-layer dip. Yum.
The refried beans are really easy to make. I will get the recipe posted as soon as I can.
Ingredients
Refried beans
3 Avocados, smashed
Garlic Powder, to taste
1 Lime, juiced
1/4-1/2 tsp Cumin
Chili Powder, to taste
Salt, to taste
Vegan Cheddar Cheese, store bought or homemade
1 can Olives, chopped
2 Roma Tomatoes, diced
Cilantro, diced
Tortilla Chips
Directions
1. Soak Cashews in hot water for at least one hour.
2. Spread beans evenly on plate or platter.
3. Make "sour cream".
4. In a bowl, mash avocados with tines of a fork. Mix in garlic powder, chili powder, lime juice, cumin, and salt to taste. Spread evenly over beans (use left over as guacamole)
5. Chop olive, tomatoes, and cilantro and spread in 3 layers evenly.
6. Serve with tortilla chips
7. Enjoy
*I make my own refried beans (recipe to come soon), but you can also just use 1 can of refried beans. Just heat them before spreading, they spread better that way.
