Bean Dip

Sometimes I just throw together whatever I have on hand in the way of beans, sauces, and veggies for a bean dip, but that is never as tasty as a well-thought-out layered bean dip. I made this one last week and it was a big hit!

Layer the following in a flat dish:

3 cups refried beans (I used the recipe posted below, but you could use your own or canned refried beans)

1 cup sliced olives

2 tomatoes, chopped

1 avocado, diced (Better yet, use the guacamole recipe from my blog)

1 cup white cashew cheese sauce

1/2 cup mild salsa

This recipe can be varied in a lot of ways. You can add chopped raw onion if you like that, use medium or hot salsa, or anything else that sounds good to you!
