The secret? Using nonfat plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and mayonnaise! Your friends and family won’t even notice the difference… I promise.

Healthier Seven Layer Dip

Ingredients:

• 3 medium-sized ripe avocados
• 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
• ½ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. pepper
• 1 & ½ C nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 package taco seasoning mix (or make your own mix using this recipe)
• 2 cans (9 oz. each) bean dip (or 2 cans refried beans — or make your own!)
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped (optional)
• 3 medium-sized ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 2 cans (3 ½ oz. each) pitted ripe sliced olives, drained
• 1 package (8 oz.) grated 2% sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions:

1. Peel, pit and mash avocados in a bowl with lemon juice, salt and pepper (or put in blender). If you’re in a hurry and don’t have any ripe avocados, you can also substitute 2 containers of mildly seasoned guacamole dip from the refrigerated section at the grocery store.

2. In another bowl, combine yogurt and taco seasoning mix.

3. To assemble:

• Spread bean dip/refried beans on a LARGE shallow serving platter.
• Spread avocado mixture over bean dip.
• Spread yogurt-taco mixture over the avocado mixture.
• Sprinkle with the chopped green onions, then the tomatoes, and finally the olives.
• Cover with the grated cheddar cheese.

4. Serve chilled with your choice of corn chips.
