Healthy 7-Layer Dip

SERVING SIZE: 3 tablespoons

COOK TIME: 5 Min

We gave the classic 7-layer dip a healthy makeover! By substituting sour cream and refried beans with Greek yogurt and chickpeas, we were able to get the same textures and flavors that everyone loves without sacrificing anything. (You might even like this version better!) Our Healthy 7-Layer Dip is just what you need at your next potluck!

What You'll Need

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 tablespoons water
2 ripe avocados, pitted and cut into chunks
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lime juice

1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese

What to Do

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until hot. Add chickpeas and garlic, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
Place chickpea mixture into food processor or blender, add water, and process until smooth. Spread mixture over a 10-inch round serving plate; set aside.
