Recipe Notes

Make it ahead of time: I recommend making this the healthy 7-layer dip the day of for peak freshness, but you can also make it up to 24 hours ahead of time! Once you've made it simply cover it and refrigerate it until you're ready to serve it the next day.

How to store 7-layer dip: if you have any leftover dip simply add it to smaller airtight containers and place it in the refrigerator. This healthy 7-layer dip will stay good in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
