7 Layer Dip -healthy enough for dinner
This 7-layer dip swaps sour cream for a seasoned yogurt-cottage cheese blend and uses guacamole, black beans, salsa, and fresh vegetables for a protein-rich version that works as an appetizer or a light dinner with pita or chips. Ready in 25 minutes with no cooking required.
