6 Layer Dip

  • LAWL has a dip in the cookbook. This is my version of it with a few very minor changes:

    Makes 1 serving
    1/2d, 1/2p, v, fa

    1/2c or 1c cooked kidney beans (size according to plan)
    2 green onions, chopped (white and green parts)
    1/2 small tomato, chopped
    9 black olives, chopped
    1 oz RF shredded cheddar cheese
    2Tbsp salsa
    1Tbsp RF sour cream

    Put beans and 1 green onion into a bowl and mash with a potato masher until it gets to be a paste (you can use a fork, too, but this was much quicker). Transfer to your serving bowl, if needed.

    Layer the remaining ingredients in the following order:
    tomato, olives, cheese, salsa, sour cream, 1 green onion

    Can be served immediately, chill for the flavors to meld together.

    You can have this on a 50 calorie tortilla, with pita chips, or veggies.

    I toasted a hard taco shell (50 calories), and broke it into pieces to dip. I don't think COD likes me using the taco shell, but I'm not asking.
  • Sounds great but can you tell me if the kidney beans are from a can or are they in a bag like the ones you made homemade baked beans with?
    Thanks,

  • I used the canned ones and rinsed them really well. I didn't notice a "sodium" gain and I've had this for lunch three times so far.
  • Thanks, that will make it so much easier to prepare, I must put it on my list of "to try".
