Healthy 7 Layer Dip is all time favourite Mexican taco dip with black beans, salsa, Greek yogurt, lettuce and a bit of cheese.

Person scooping healthy seven layer dip with a tortilla chip from a bowl.

This healthy 7 layer dip recipe is extremely easy to make. Just layer it. Instead of refried beans I used canned black beans because they are healthier and that’s what I had on hand.

I tried to keep the dip low in sodium by using low sodium salsa, plain Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese and lots of shredded lettuce, for extra crunch as well. I’m also all about all natural or organic spices, so I used homemade taco seasoning mix.

You really need just one bowl to make this healthy seven layer dip. And no cooking required. Use any large serving platter if you don’t have clear glass baking dish. It is also OK to use cumin instead of taco seasoning mix.

This dip is perfect for potlucks, football, get togethers and really any party.

Serve with any tortilla chips, organic, low sodium or multigrain.

You can make it up to half a day ahead and refrigerate covered. Then just drain carefully the liquid from the bottom of the dish before serving.

  2. Oh this looks so good! I can make my own taco seasoning too with cumin and garlic or chili powder. I also know Sparks Cookbook has homemade seasoning recipes too. I just love how you made it healthier!

    1. Hi Galina. This dip is the same day consumption dip. There is no way to make it ahead and should be served and eaten immediately.
