Healthy Dip Recipe #1: Lowfat Mexican Layer Dip

• 1 cup of low-sodium refried beans

• 1/4 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

• 1/2 cups fresh guacamole

• 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream

• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

• 1 cucumber chopped

• 1 cup fresh salsa

• 1 head of finely chopped iceberg lettuce

• 2 cups chopped tomatoes

• 1/4 cup sliced black olives

Mix the sour cream and taco seasoning together and set aside for 10 minutes to allow flavor to mingle. In a glass pie plate or 8 x 8 inch baking pan, layer the refried beans in the bottom so they are equally spread. Top with guacamole and spread evenly. Top with chopped cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce. Top with salsa. Sprinkle cheese over the top. Place sour cream in a ziplock bag and cut off the end, do a zig zag pattern across the top of the dip. Sprinkle with olives. Serve with popped tortilla chips or veggies.
