    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients with labels.
    • Vegan cream cheese: I prefer thick, dense vegan cream cheese like Tofutti or Daiya. Use your favorite brand. You could also use homemade vegan cream cheese.
    • Refried beans: I used refried beans with spices to add some flavor. You could also use refried black beans.
    • Guacamole: I used homemade guacamole, but you could also use store-bought.
    • Salsa: You could use either homemade restaurant-style salsa or store-bought.
    • Vegan cheddar cheese: Use your favorite brand or leave it off.
    • Kalamata olives: You could also use green olives.
    • Green onions: Adds a slightly pungent flavor.
    • Cilantro: Adds flavor. You could also use more green onions if you don't like cilantro.

    This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    What is in a 7 layer dip?

    A 7 layer dip has sour cream, refried beans, guacamole, cheddar cheese, salsa or diced tomatoes, olives, and green onions. For this vegan version, I used vegan cream cheese, refried beans, guacamole, salsa, vegan cheddar, olives, cilantro, and green onions.

    Are you supposed to heat up a 7 layer dip?

    No, you serve the dip cold.
