This edition of Mexican Meatless Monday is a healthy version of the oldie 7 Layer Dip. Swap Greek yogurt for sour cream. Skip the cheese and opt for green onions (or olives, but despite my last name I’m not big on black olives and didn’t have green olives).
There are 24 different options for the layers, you pick what you want.
Green chilies or jalapenos – the world is your oyster dip!
My Skinny 7 Layer Dip:
- Beans
- Lettuce
- Salsa
- Green Chili
- Greek Yogurt
- Guacamole
- Green Onions
Enjoy!
Okay. Now I have a big confession to make…
besides that.
I’m running a race on Sunday so I can eat whatever I feel like. Boom. But, I know one or two of you like to be all healthy. Plus, I needed to make this today and I’m home all by my lonesome so making it a little lighter helps the cause. And I want ice cream anyway. The End.
Question: Are you watching the big game this weekend?
I used to be all about basketball, especially having worked for an NBA team for nearly 11 years but I’m more of a football girl now. We’ll be watching. I’m torn on who to cheer for; Peyton since he’s a former Colts player but I don’t think Seattle has ever won a Super Bowl and I like to see the underdog win now & then.
Love your blog–just discovered it today! I love how your personality shines through. I just started blogging and am trying to be less shy about just being myself. Anyway, I do not care about football, either, but have been invited to a Superbowl party so will be making and bringing this dip! Thanks!
Thanks for reading 🙂
You had me with you until you said “skip the cheese.” I’m sorry to say that I’ve notified the police of this CRIME AGAINST DIP!
But in all seriousness, I like the different options you’ve listed here for this dip. I LOVE 7-layer dip!
Have you tried the “reduced guilt” guac from Trader Joe’s? I am addicted to it. It’s made with greek yogurt and it’s so so so so yummy! I pair it with their blue corn baked chips and feel zero guilt (as opposed to reduced guilt). I think it’s only about 30 calories per serving and there is 11 servings in the container. According to that math, I only have to run 3 miles to burn it all off–so worth it! 😀
Good luck at Surf City. I recall last year’s race like it was yesterday! It was my very first FULL and I kept seeing you on the switch-backs (you were WAY ahead of me); all smiles and very sweet.
You are a running machine and have stacked up many PR’s since then. Congrats (fist bump, no hug)! I’m still running half-marys, but a lot of my “busy mom life” had to get carved away to train for that full, it’ll be a few years before I can do it again.
Shannon! Will you be out for the half at Surf City? I’ll keep an eye out! No, I haven’t tried the TJ’s guac but I’m a purist and so spoiled with my mom’s avocado tree it’s hard for me to enjoy anything else.
Not this year, I dawdled too long and didn’t want to pay the increased rates. I am doing the trail half in March (Chesebro Half/Great Race) and am getting my dirt & hills on in prep for it! 🙂
I will definitely run Surf City again, though. It was a fun race.
I ALMOST didn’t read the recipe because I just assumed there would be cheese in it (and I really thought I saw it in the pic too) cause i’m lactose intolerant (freshly as of mid 2013. pissed.) but YAY no cheese! I also have a slight obsession with green onions.
I live in Denver…and honestly I don’t really care about football either – and it’s my team going! I’ll watch the game…for the commercials and food…
Oh my goodness, using Greek yogurt on this could be a game changer. Yum! I’ll be watching the game rooting for Peyton Manning. I’ll definitely be wearing my Manning Colts jersey. Once a Colt, always a Colt! 🙂
We’re actually flying out for our honeymoon and will just be getting into Europe as the game starts. We live in Denver, so we’re hopeful we can watch it at a pub or something, but it’s our honeymoon who cares if we miss it 🙂
Wow, this post is pleasant, my younger sister iis analyzig these kinds of things, sso I am going
to tell her.
I only watch it for the commercials anyway, so since my husband will be out of town probably not.
I really like that you post meatless receipts. This dip looks much fancier than mine I usual have around four layers…next time I’ll go for the seven.
Awesome recipe!! I can’t wait for the Superbowl.. for the commercials and food that is!
I won’t be watching the game this year. I am not a big football fan and since the Patriots lost, I can’t bear to watch the Bronco’s. Go Seahawks!! I don’t like how late they start the game- I can’t stay up to watch the whole thing anyways! LOL!
Look delicious! We’re watching the game but I don’t care about football either 🙂
Delicious dip yum yum 🙂
The game doesn’t start until almost midnight Sunday night so sadly I will have to be missing it and all the yummy food.
Mmm i love dip! May have to try this!!
Not a fan of football but since the Seahawks are playing I have to or I will be banned from the state. my husband will make wings Sunday so we look like we really care. I found a guacamole at TJs that is made with Greek yogurt and is quite delicious.
HELLZ YES I AM WATCHING THE GAME. Sorry for all caps but GO HAWKS! Can you tell I am from Seattle?!!! I cannot wait!!!!!
I’m with you! Not a football fan… but still manage to be a big time football food fan. Thanks for the recipe!
I’m running a race this weekend too! Are you doing the New Orleans Rock n Roll?
I will be watching the “big game” my beloved Patriots aren’t in it so I will go with the local team, wait is that Denver or Seattle? I live in Idaho 😉 But anyways, this dip looks really good. I will have to add it to my list of recipes to try!
I’ll probably watch some of it, just by association with my boy! but it’s not really my jam…
I love seven layer dip! I need the cheese though!
I’ll be watching the game even though my team, the Packers, are not playing!
I usually just watch the game as an excuse to eat lots of “bad for you” food. I’ve been craving guac and tortilla chips but I think I may have to make this, too. Yum, yum!
Wow I heart you! I will be watching with my hubs..but just starting running your very inspiring. I am watching the pounds so this is amazing and looks delish.
Hey! I’m volunteering at packet handout Saturday from 12-5:30 if you’re down there then!
Last year there was a long line so I was going to try and go Fri, but if not I’ll stop by!
I’ll be watching! 🙂 Not sure what we are doing yet but I do plan on watching the game. I enjoy football!
I’ll be watching the game. Last year my boyfriend made a buffalo chicken dip that was amazing (and not at all healthy). We took the leftovers and tossed them with pasta the next day – buffalo chicken mac and cheese, one of my best ideas ever. 🙂
I’ll be watching the game. That dip looks awesome! I love a good Mexican layered dip.
I really like the replacing sour cream with greek yogurt idea. I will be watching the game and while I really enjoy cheering for a team I’d be lying if I didn’t say the main reason I watch is for the food.
I am actually going to watch MORE than the half time show or the commercials this year….why?….Because the rest of my family enjoys the Broncos (they are playing in it right?) and I guess it would be a nice family moment to hang out together. 😉
OH MY GOODNESS that looks good! It’s not even super bowl and I already want to stuff my face. My weakness!
I LOVE 7 layer MEXICAN DIPS! They are one of my trigger foods, among which resides cereal (especially puffins), nachos, and pizza.
This looks so good! Since the Patriots won’t be playing I may not even watch the Superbowl, but I can still eat like I am!

I am a ravens fan but I love tom brady. He’s probably my favorite player. I think he did amazing though for what he had on his team.
That looks really, really good! Yum!
I made fatty 7 layer dip last week. The cheese doesn’t add very much because the other flavors are so strong. Good idea!
Yeah, I want like 90% guac and 10% beans. The rest are just filler 🙂
I hate football, but I’ll take that 7 layer dip.
