Seven-Layer Dip

Posted April 7, 2010 @ 9:08 pm In Numbers,Seven | No Comments

Seven-layer dip is a snack dip served with tortilla chips [1] as an appetizer in the United States.

As is so often the case with numbered lists [2] like this, there is no definitive list of the seven ingredients in Seven-Layer Dip. All recipes call for at least:

  1. Refried beans [3]
  2. Guacamole [4]
  3. Sour cream [5]
  4. A spicy sauce, usually salsa [6], but possibly pico de gallo [7] or simply chopped tomatoes [8]
  5. Shredded cheese, usually Cheddar [9], but possibly Monterey Jack cheese [10] or a blend of both

Other ingredients can include:

  1. Black olives [11]
  2. Cooked Ground beef [12]
  3. Jalapeño chiles [13]
  4. Shredded lettuce [14]
  5. Tortilla chips

How It's Used

“I tucked into D.J. Taylor's Kept: A Victorian Mystery hoping that it would get my summer reading off to a good start—it's not so easy to find fiction that goes with margaritas but doesn't turn your brain to seven-layer bean dip. And, indeed, Mr. Taylor keeps both the pages and the brain turning over pleasantly.”

—Alexandra Mullen, “Bookmarks,” The Wall Street Journal, June 15, 2007, p. W6.
