Get Your Snack On During the Saints Kick-Off With This Delicious Bean Dip Recipe
Who Dat! The Saints are playing today and I'm trying to be healthier, especially since I somehow made it to the gym only once last week. So, instead of pigging out on game day, I'm sharing with you this recipe for a healthy twist on seven-layer dip from Eating Well. Enjoy!
Southwestern Layered Bean Dip
INGREDIENTS
- 1 16-ounce can nonfat refried beans, preferably “spicy”
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed
- 4 scallions, sliced
- 1/2 cup prepared salsa

- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream

- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 1 medium avocado, chopped
- 1/4 cup canned sliced black olives, (optional)
PREPARATION
- Combine refried beans, black beans, scallions, salsa, cumin, chili powder and jalapeños in a medium bowl. Transfer to a shallow 2-quart microwave-safe dish; sprinkle with cheese.
- Microwave on High until the cheese is melted and the beans are hot, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Spread sour cream evenly over the hot bean mixture, then scatter with lettuce, tomato, avocado and olives (if using).
