Gearing up for Cinco de Mayo, not that I ever need an excuse to eat Mexican food, I assembled a quick vegan layer dip today that the boys gobbled up, even though they usually shy away from food touching other food. Cleaning up layer dips is a necessity because I could never just eat the 2T that most commercial dips claim as a 150 cal serving. My layer dips never have the same amount of layers because I make them based on what I have on hand-which means they never get old. You also don't have to eat them as a dip. I piled 1/2c on top of a bowl of mixed greens and arugula. Go chopped romaine if you want a tostada feel. You could also serve this as fancy finger food in a butter lettuce wrap, or serve it disassembled along with tortillas and let people make their own tacos/burritos. (I told you it never gets old!) I remembered that I used to make a Greek layer dip in college that was well loved and decided to catalog this party food matrix style; what else could you layer?
