Slim Six Layer Dip Recipes

SIX LAYERS AND A CHIP DIP

Steps:

• On a cutting board, smash the garlic cloves, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Put the garlic, beans, chili powder, water, and olive oil in the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth. Spread in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole or gratin dish, or in individual sized dishes, as desired.
• Scatter the cheese over the beans. Halve and seed the avocados, then mash with the jalapeno and another teaspoon of salt in a small bowl. Spread a layer of the avocado over the cheese, and then scatter the lettuce on top.
• Mix the yogurt with the cilantro and then spread over the lettuce. Add a layer of tomatoes and, finally, scatter the scallions on top. Chill until ready to serve. Garnish with a few cilantro sprigs and serve with baked chips.
