Рецепт Healthy Mediterranean 7-Layer Dip Recipe
Here’s a fresh take on the 7-layer dip, putting a Mediterranean spin on this healthy appetizer recipe. It will be a hit at your Super Bowl party!
I’ll admit it. It wasn’t love at first bite when I first dipped into the traditional southwestern 7-layer dip. The culprit was the refried beans. It probably didn’t help that my initiation into the world of refried beans was during my first (and ONLY!) late-night/beer-soaked trip to Taco Bell in college. I was lured in by the dulcet tones of that darn talking Chihuahua.
With Super Bowl Sunday coming up, I wanted a dip that I could throw together in 15 minutes or less, and that would make me forget that ill-advised drive-thru adventure. So, why not replace the refried beans with hummus, the sour cream with nonfat Greek yogurt and make a shift to Mediterranean flavors? Take out the guacamole, salsa and Monterey jack, and layer in artichokes, roasted peppers and feta cheese in their place.
Of course, you can layer the ingredients any which way you please, or substitute in other ingredients, such as kalamata olives or sundried tomatoes. Serve the dip with raw vegetables, pita chips or lentil chips.
Don’t you dare tell your beer-swilling Super Bowl guests that this dip is healthy. They’ll never know the difference!
The recipe:
In an 8- by 8- square serving dish, spread the hummus evenly on the bottom. Layer the tomatoes and cucumber over top.
Dollop the yogurt over the vegetables, then gently spread with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the yogurt with salt and paprika.
On top of the yogurt, layer the artichoke heart, roasted red peppers and feta cheese. Sprinkle the parsley over top and garnish with olives.
Serve with fresh vegetables, pita chips or crackers.
