Variation ideas

Here are a few ways you can change the actual recipe and add more flavours or layers to the dish:

• You can use pica de Gallo or salsa as one of the layers. Both these are super easy to make and go very well with the rest of the layers. These add a Mexican flair to this dip.
• You can add chopped bell peppers or jalapenos to the final layer as well.
• You can use Greek yoghurt or cream cheese instead of sour cream as well.

How to store 7 Layer Dip?

Once you refrigerate the dip, it will stay fresh for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Just remember not to put the wet spoon in it; otherwise, the ingredients will start to go bad. Also, always keep it covered tightly because the contact of air with the ingredients, especially with guacamole, will cause it to start turning brown.
