Seven Layer Dip
My sis-in-law is totally a salty kind of gal.
She’ll pass on all the sweets (more for me!), but can not pass up on a chips and dip at any point.
Me, well, I actually don’t discriminate. I’m not sure I can pick one over the other, but if I ad to this dip would be at the top of my list.
I just don’t think a party is complete without a dip like this Seven Layer Dip.
Luckily for her, she’s has a great sis-in-law (me!!!) and I went and dropped this off at work with her to share with my old co-workers.
How long does 7 layer dip last in the refrigerator?

So the party is over and you have leftovers? Here’s what you do!

Tania Knitter says
Great start but still needed more. Very salty. Almost like taking the taco seasoning and eating it straight from the packet.
Julie Evink says
I always use a low sodium taco seasoning that might help. I’m sorry you didn’t like it!
