- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced olives

Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 can of refried beans, 1 cup of guacamole, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of salsa, 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1/4 cup of sliced olives, and chopped green onions for garnish.
- Choose a suitable serving dish, such as a clear glass bowl or a shallow platter, to showcase the layers of your dip.
- Start by spreading the refried beans evenly at the bottom of the dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a smooth, even layer.
- Next, add the guacamole on top of the refried beans. Spread it gently to avoid mixing the layers, ensuring it covers the beans completely.
- After the guacamole, carefully layer the sour cream over it. Again, use a spatula to spread it evenly without disturbing the layers beneath.
- Pour the salsa over the sour cream layer, spreading it out evenly. Make sure the salsa is well-distributed to maintain the beautiful layers.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the salsa, ensuring it covers the entire surface for a cheesy finish.
- Finally, add the sliced olives on top of the cheese for an extra burst of flavor and a nice visual contrast.
- Garnish your layered dip with chopped green onions for a fresh touch and added color.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pita chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy your delicious Favorite Layered Party Dip!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Make sure your ingredients are at the right temperature. Sour cream and guacamole should be cool, and refried beans at room temperature for easy spreading.
- Layer with Precision: Use the back of a spoon or a small offset spatula to create clean, distinct layers. Take your time and spread each layer gently to maintain the beautiful stratification.
- Chill Factor: For the best flavor melding, consider refrigerating the dip for 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to combine and makes the dip easier to scoop.
- Chip Selection: Choose sturdy chips that can handle the weight of multiple layers. Thick tortilla chips or restaurant-style chips work best.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to add your personal touch! Consider adding a layer of black beans, jalapeños, or even some seasoned ground beef for extra protein.
- Serving Suggestion: Use a clear glass dish to showcase the beautiful layers and make your dip a true visual centerpiece.
- Make-Ahead Magic: This dip can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance and kept refrigerated, making it perfect for party prep!
