Mexican Seven Layer Dip

Difficulty: Easy

Makes 1 litre of dip

I hadn’t even heard of this dip until the other day but as soon as I did I set out to veganise it. It’s such an wicked contribution to any party or gathering because you can prepare it in advance, it only takes a jiffy to put together plus it looks impressive and tastes even better. You may want to double the recipe if you’re going to a larger gathering, it’s going to run out mighty quick!
