7 Layer Skinny Dip Recipes

SEVEN-LAYER DIP

For this recipe, the traditional 7-layer dip has been revisited so that each layer is good enough to eat on its own, but isn't so much effort that the whole thing can't be finished in 20 minutes. The order of the layers offers some delightful moments, like where the cheese melts into the warm refried beans or where the cool sour cream meets the fiery salsa. Cilantro and scallions serve as a refreshing counterpoint, and Fritos lend added crunch. No need to dig out your trifle bowl: A platter with a lip is preferred here for easier scooping.

Steps:

In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and half the jalapeño (about 1 tablespoon). Season with salt and pepper. In another small bowl, coarsely mash the avocado, lime juice and remaining 1 tablespoon jalapeño, then season with salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat or in a microwave, warm the refried beans with the cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread the beans on a platter with a rim or lip. Top evenly with the cheese, followed by the olives, avocado mixture and salsa. Top with dollops of jalapeño-sour cream and sprinkle with crumbled Fritos, scallions and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.

SUNNY'S EASY 7-LAYER GYRO DIP

One of my favorite things to order for delivery from a Greek restaurant is a gyro salad. It has all the things you want inside a gyro sandwich, but in salad form. It usually comes with two warm pitas on the side, so I love to make my own gyro from all the elements. This is a dip that gives me all those vibes and more. It's great with pita chips or as an easy way to serve gyros to a group without having several topping bowls. Just have warm pita on the side and a spoon to scoop the dip. Sometimes, I serve it this way with crisp, shredded lettuce in a bowl on the side.

Steps:

For the lamb: In a large pan on medium heat, add the olive oil. When it begins to swirl, add the onion, garlic, oregano, lamb, salt and plenty of black pepper. Combine the ingredients, breaking up the lamb while cooking, until it is browned, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
Layer the dip. In an 8-inch square dish, layer in this order: Spread the hummus on the bottom, then sprinkle evenly with the lamb, feta, tomatoes and cucumbers. Spread the tzatziki dip over the top and sprinkle with the dill to finish. Serve with the pita chips.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup finely grated white onion (on the smallest holes of the box grater)
1 large clove garlic, grated on a rasp
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 pound ground lamb
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces roasted garlic or red pepper hummus
4 ounces feta, crumbled
4 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced small
1/2 English cucumber, seeded and diced small
