Layered Dip with Salsa, Avocado and Sour Cream

Layered Dip

I’ve mentioned this before, but the picture of this Layered Dip forces me to bring it up again.

I don’t like taking pictures of food (which is a bit problematic for someone with a food blog).

I find it all a bit over the top and unrealistic and frustrating.

You will schmear the layers of this dip in your serving dish and top it all with cheese. It’s not beautiful.

But your people are, and they will like it.

They’ll enjoy your dip because the layers that are soft enough to keep their chips from breaking. This base is smoother and is more than just cream cheese packed into the bottom of the dish.

You can make this several hours in advance and refrigerate until serving time.

If you make the dip and have a picture, I’d love to see. Beautiful or not.

This dip is adaptable, so you can add or remove layers depending on your preferences. The key is to beat the cream cheese and sour cream layer thoroughly to ensure a smooth base for the other layers.
