This is the best appetizer for sharing! I am bringing you an awesome 7 Layer Dip, served in mini cups for a less mess celebration. Best part of this snack is that it is easy to make for individuals, aka for much smaller gatherings. This works for 2 -12 people, depending on how much you want to make.
My 7 layer dip recipe has been created to yield 12 individual servings. To scale this recipe, use approximately two tablespoons each of refried beans, guacamole, and sour cream per 5-oz. appetizer cup. Then top each cup with chopped 3-4 cherry or grape tomatoes, one tablespoon cheese, 3-4 chopped black olives, and a few green onion slices.
I mean honestly, how easy peasy is that? Plus as a bonus, keeping it in mini cups allows for less fuss, less mess and thus less cleanup. Woohoo who doesn’t love that idea??
Prep time time is minimal and only takes 10 minutes and clean up is a dream. And as a special bonus… cook time is non-existent!
