Ingredients
Scale
Base Layer
- 1 (14 ounce) can fat free refried beans (add a second can if desired)
Dressing Layer
- 1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix (like Hidden Valley, save the rest for next time)
- 16 ounces light sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
Toppings
- 2 cups shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
- 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 (6 ounce) can sliced olives
- 1 avocado, peeled and cubed
Instructions
- Spread Refried Beans: In a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, evenly spread out the fat free refried beans to form the base layer of your dip.
- Prepare and Add Dressing Layer: In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing mix and 2 cups of light sour cream (or Greek yogurt). Pour this mixture over the layer of refried beans, spreading it evenly.
- Add Toppings: Top the dressing layer with shredded lettuce, grated cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, sliced olives, chopped green onions, and cubed avocado, distributing each ingredient evenly over the dip.
- Chill: Cover the dish and store it in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours to allow flavors to meld and to keep the dip fresh.
- Serve: Serve the dip chilled with salsa on the side, along with chips and fresh cut vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, add an additional can of fat free refried beans.
- Use Greek yogurt as a substitute for light sour cream for an even healthier option.
- Prepare the dip a few hours ahead to let the flavors meld, but avoid overnight storage to keep avocado fresh.
- Serve with a variety of dippers such as tortilla chips, carrot sticks, celery, or bell pepper strips for added crunch and nutrition.
- Reserve remaining ranch dressing mix for future recipes to avoid waste.
